One of Valletta’s most interesting (and somewhat spooky) historical sites lies tucked underneath the ground we walk on…
Ever since the Knights of St John took over the islands, some 450 years ago, our capital started hosting an ever-growing series of underground tunnels.
The system was birthed when the Knights dug a huge water reservoir under the city, to which many other reservoirs, tunnels, and sewers were eventually connected. Over many years, this gave way to the establishment of a fantastic subterranean maze.
