Visitors are awed by the beguiling world of the prehistoric era at this amazing archaeological site. Designated on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Hal Saflieni Hypogeum was an underground cemetery during the Neolithic era. At this complex of catacombs, prehistoric man performed religious burial rituals and consulted oracles. Carved from limestone using rock tools, the interconnected superimposed chambers include passages and stairways on three levels. The lowest level is the chamber known as the "Holy of Holies," which is over 10 meters below the entrance to the first level at the top. The site is remarkable for how old it is (4000 BC to 1500 BC) and for the excellent state of preservation, complete with beautiful carvings and paintings in red ochre. It is also fascinating the way structural elements of Hal Saflieni Hypogeum mirror the architecture of contemporaneous (prehistoric-era) megalithic sites such as the Tarxien Temples. Hal Saflieni Hypogeum has provided archaeologists and scholars with intriguing clues about the Neolithic mindset and culture. The complex stands as a rare testimony to a vanished civilization. Some of the artifacts found in Hal Saflieni Hypogeum are now displayed at the National Museum of Archeology in Valletta, including unique clay sculptures; stone figures of birds; and The Sleeping Lady, a rare prehistoric object that depicts a woman lying on a couch.

The Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum is an underground prehistoric burial site, a complex made up of interconnecting rock-cut chambers set on three distinct levels. Earliest remains at the site date back to about 4000BC, and the complex was used over a span of many centuries, up to c. 2500 BC. The Hypogeum was first opened to the public in 1908. Due to its uniqueness, the site became very popular with visitors. Unfortunately, this had a negative impact on the delicate microclimate of the site. For this reason, a conservation project was conducted that also included the closure of the site for 10 years between 1990 and 2000. As a result of these studies, a new visiting system was established. Nowadays, only 10 visitors an hour are now allowed inside the Hypogeum for a maximum of 8 tours a day. This system is also complemented by an environmental control system which keeps temperature and humidity at required levels. Tickets for the Hypogeum should be purchased well in advance.
