The Wignacourt Museum and Cafe

From the main street of Rabat we then crossed the pedestrian lights, walked to the other side of a small bridge and found ourselves in a small square. “In this small square you are in, there used to be several coffee shops during the World War II, and all of them managed to carry on with their business even during those difficult times”, a villager quickly mentioned. He also told us about a new museum which opened recently at the end of the road. We walked down the road next to it, on the right, which now leads to St.Paul’s church and met the owner of a confectionery which specialises in traditional nougat. He explained how the square in front of the church has changed and then he offered us to taste some of the traditional sweets he had on display.
We walked a few metres and in the corner we found the Wignacourt Cafe, which we learnt it hosts a museum, catacombs and World War II shelter. We went in and got really interested in the place as we started touring around. We got lost in the shelters, got a bit scared in the catacombs and admired the paintings in the upper floor. We got hungry by that time, so we sat down on a table in the yard inside the same building, to have a quick lunch.
