maltatoday | SUNDAY • 12 NOVEMBER 2023 9 COMMERCIAL MYSTERIUM Fidei , The Mys- tery of Faith, is located within the closed cloisters of St Cath- erine's Monastery, Valletta. In February of this year, after more than 400 years, the rusty doors were opened to the pub- lic. Brought to life by Hidden Valletta Ltd. the multi sensory experience gives a unique in- sight into life at the monastery and the secret garden. The tranquil 'Secret Garden' is built within the original quarry from where the stone was extracted from which the Monastery was built. The garden provides a unique area of peace and tranquili- ty within the bustling Capital City. The monastery was founded in 1575 and was initially in- tended to care for female or- phans. At its 'peak' there were 104 nuns living within the closed cloisters. Today the remaining nuns, who are quite possibly the last generation of cloistered nuns, continue the legacy of the Au- gustinian Order. When taking their vows, the nuns vowed never to leave the closed cloisters even in death. Visitors can see the original kitchens, wash rooms and au- thentic artifacts used by the nuns over the centuries, to- gether with the final resting place of the many women who for 400 years have been laid to rest in the Crypt. Located on the corner of Strait Street and St. Christopher's Street, Mysterium Fidei is open daily Monday to Satur- day, and from 9.30 am to 4pm and on Sundays from 9.30am to 3.30pm .
