This is a very interesting place to visit. It is located in Valletta. It gives visitors an insight on strategic decisions taken by English officials during World War 2.

This is 45 metres underground. You can get to it easily by going to the Upper Baraka gardens just as you enter Valletta

These were the famous head Quarters of the allied invasion of Sicily... As well as the general defense HQ during the awful days of defense in the second world war. Definitely a must!

Below the fortifications of Malta’s capital city Valletta, this complex of tunnels and chambers hold fascinating secrets from the second world war. Built by the British military, the war rooms housed the allied war HQ, which played a crucial role in the defence of the island and the coordination of Operation Husky – the invasion of Sicily. Named after Giovanni Paolo Lascaris, a 17th-century grand master of the knights of Malta, who built a garden on the site and fortifications across the island , the war rooms received communications from all radar stations and mapped the aerial and naval movements around the islands. After the war the Lascaris rooms were used as the headquarters of the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet. Climbing up the stairs of the bastion takes you to the Upper Barrakka Garden for the spectacular views of the Grand Harbour. Adult €13, student €11, under-16 €6, open Mon-Sat 10am-4.30pm, www.lascariswarrooms.com
