And then things will get really cool. If you're intrigued by Malta during World War II you'll relish the opportunity to venture down into the underground shelters, parts of which are not normally accessible. It is known that little rooms within the shelters would house entire families during harsh air raid - can you imagine?

The Malta at War Museum is situated in Birgu, within the 17th-century Couvre Porte Conterguard. The museum is dedicated to Malta’s role in World War II, housing various wartime artefacts including human-size (deactivated obvs) bombs, weapons, uniforms, medals and documents, among others. The incredibly loud air raid alarm is still found within the museum’s walls.
