I have always
lived in my home town Rabat. It is a commercial centre a stroll away from the
mediaeval town of Mdina
Rabat is rich
in historical places, some of which are
St. Agatha’s Catacombs and St. Paul’s Parish Church; a sixteenth century church
built over a cave which according to tradition, St. Paul took shelter in around 59
AD.
In Rabat’s centre one can find lots
of boutiques, shoe shops, accessories shops, bars, restaurants and even clubs.
Distributed all over the town one can find a large number of beautiful
well-kept chapels and churches. On the outskirts there is a well-preserved large
Roman town house called Domus Romana. Near it there is a large beautiful public
garden which visitors and locals visit in large numbers everyday.
Rabat is surrounded by countryside
such as Buskett gardens and Dingli Cliffs. The people are friendly and helpful. Personally I love living here.
Although it is a commercial place, I live in a quiet, modern part of Rabat. From our roof we can see St. Dominic’s Church, Verdala Palace, the town itself
and its outskirts.
Our
neighbours are friendly and as we are only twenty-three houses in our street, we are
like a little community. I wouldn’t change this place with another.
