Mysterium Fidei
Mysterium Fidei is a multi sensory experience located within St Catherine’s Monastery, in the heart of Valletta. The door to the Secret Garden has been closed to the public for over 400 years, it is now open for you to enter this tranquil space and take a glimpse into the lives of the cloistered nuns. When joining the monastery, the nuns took vows never to leave. They lived a self-sustainable life closed away from the outside world. You can see the original, authentic kitchens, bedrooms, washrooms and even visit the crypt, their final resting place. The enclosed garden is a rarity in Valletta, here you can escape the hustle and bustle of the busy Valletta streets and experience the peace and serenity of this hidden oasis. Mysterium Fidei is a unique, must see, experience. It gives visitors the opportunity to learn the history, appreciate the architecture, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and contemplate the lives of the women who chose the life of the cloistered nun.

The Mysterium Fidei was beautiful and so peaceful. The young man on the desk s was so helpful and it was a lovely visit. It was interesting to see how the Nuns lived and how hard their life would have been. The garden was tranquil and a little oasis in the city. A worthwhile visit with little cost, multi ticket gets you into the Blackfriars church and museum, again an interesting view x

Really enjoyable experience - very peaceful & enlightening - I would definitely recommend👍🏻 I must have walked past this site many times over the years & didn’t know anything about the convent. The hidden garden is wonderful

My aunt lived in similar convent in uk, very poignant, especially the room with the burial area. You could sense the hardship they went through

Really absorbing. Getting insights into the lives of these cloistered orders was fascinating. Rooms and items from their lives- and where they still live and pray now. The magnificence and wealth of these once really comes through to, especially the Dominican monastery and church. The Cali paintings in the fines were something special even to my untrained eye!

Nice experience. Nicely explained by listening tape that you can download on your mobile. Recommended for during the hot summer days in the afternoon to find cooling.
