St Paul's Island is a small, barren rocky outcrop off the northern coast of Malta, traditionally revered as the site of St Paul's shipwreck in 60 AD. A towering statue of the saint stands on the island, visible from the mainland. Visitors can take boat trips to circle the island or view it from the coast near St Paul's Bay, reflecting on the biblical story that shaped Malta's Christian heritage.
