Underground in Malta

Both the World War II Allied Forces and NATO have used this modern bunker underneath Malta’s capital.

These purpose-built WWII air raid shelters, which run half a kilometer under the town of Mellieħa, are among the longest in Malta.

A small cave network was discovered under a home in Xagħra, in 1924 when the owner was digging a well.

In 1888, a resident of Xagħra, Malta, discovered a small underground chamber filled with stalactites and stalagmites when digging a well.

After 400 years of being closed to the public, this monastery's underground tunnels and secret garden are now a museum.

Hidden beneath a restaurant, underground tunnels tell the story of Malta’s tragic role in World War II.
