Within Paola's tight grid of streets, lies Malta's most precious prehistoric site: the Hypogeum underground burial chambers and temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Paola, (or old name Casal Paula), is a town in the south of Malta, with a population of 8,856 people (Nov 2005). It is named after its founder, the Grandmaster Antoine de Paule. The plan for Paola, was for the town to serve as a summer resort taking advantage of the cooler breezes offered by its hilltop location. However, it did not succeed because the area lay near to what were then mosquito-ridden marshes near the harbour. It was not until the mid-to-late 19th century that Paola really grew. The town's population rose rapidly once the nearby dockyards expanded.
