Abbatija tad-Dejr

burial ground · 330 BC – 1453 AD

A multi-period burial site located in the northwest of modern Ir-Rabat, Malta. Archaeological evidence points to first use of the site in the Punic and Roman periods. A quarry of possible Roman date was used in the construction of Byzantine-period hypogea. Further modifications were made in the late Medieval (post-Muslim) period, prior to abandonment of the site.
