Book weeks ahead for the Hypogeum!
BE001903 Says: I booked more than 4 weeks ahead of our trip to get tickets at the Hypogeum. FYI we visited in October so not even high season. When I booked the tickets already most places were booked. So be prepared! Many people tried to get in last minute but no such luck.I did find it...
steventilly Says: The old state prison now serves as Paola police station, but adjoining that is the current, more modern prison. The old prison building shown here actually bears the legend "Women's Prison" in the stonework above the door.This was also the site of public executions and the...
steventilly Says: Malta's only serving mosque is in Paola, staning on Corradino Hill. There is a newly commissioned Muslim cemetary right next to it too, there having been no proper Muslim cemetary in Malta for many years until then.Though the minaratte of the mosque was clearly visible from...
steventilly Says: The town square is surrounded by most of Paola's important buildings - the church, the band club and Hibernians FC (and the police station/prison is just around the corner) and in the centre of the square is a delightful elongated oval of a park. It's totally surrounded by...
steventilly Says: This church is quite modern, being founded in 1923 when the present parish church became too small for the congregation. Probably it was with future growth in mind that they built this as the biggest church in Malta. It's vast - and its silver coloured domes make it stand...
Paramount Kiosk: Good Cheap Food
steventilly Says: A staple snack food of Malta is the Pastizzi. This is like an English Pasty, a light pastry shell holding a filling of either cheese or peas.We'd had pastizzis many times before in other cafes around Malta and also Qassata, a bigger more crusty version, but the ones here...
Paramount Kiosk: Good Cheap Food
steventilly Says: One of the things that attracted us to Paola so much was its tree-ringed oval "square" with the art deco looking Paramount Kiosk inside it.These kiosks are a feature of Maltese society and provide food and drink by day and night, and at night become a focal point for...
Topwear; Club a Sin: Nice woman clothes
Kendra_V Says: As a woman I did many window-shopping in Malta but I didnt find anything tempting to buy. as we had booking for Hypogenum and we arrived in Paola earlier, so we had time to take a little walk and there was many little shops for men and woman and actually there was many...
steventilly Says: The Maltese like their football and every major town has a team, many taking their names from English teams (at least the suffix part). This is Paola Hibernians, my "adopted" Maltese team, like all Maltese teams they have a "social club" right in the centre of town.

You won't find much mention of Paola in any of the guidebooks - in fact it wasn't mentioned in any of ours, except in passing. It's just an "ordinary" town, begun in the 1600s as an overflow area for...

It was at the end of our "Jeep Sarafi" that our driver suddenly went up this street and stopped where I took this photo from. We all (4 of us) shouted to him that he was going up a "one way street" -...

Paola - Rahal Gdid (The New Village)
What can I say about Paola ? There is so little to say and yet there is so much - there is the unique hypogeum as it is a under burial chamber (more than one) - 3 floors down beneath ground level...
