Hidden beneath the historic Upper Barrakka Gardens and the iconic Saluting Battery in Valletta lies one of Malta’s most intriguing secrets from World War Two – the Lascaris War Rooms. This underground complex, located approximately 150 feet below ground, served as Britain’s War Headquarters in Malta during the tumultuous times of war. From within these labyrinthine tunnels and chambers, the defense of the island against Axis aggression was masterminded, and crucial offensive operations in the Mediterranean were orchestrated.
Conveniently located just a 10-minute stroll from The Embassy Valletta Hotel, visiting the Lascaris War Rooms is a must when in Malta.
