Why go
Maps, plotting rooms and communications spaces explain how information moved between radar stations and the people directing operations. The complex also served as the Allied headquarters for the 1943 invasion of Sicily. Seeing these rooms below the city changes the meaning of Valletta's harbour views above ground.
What to look for
- The Navy Plotting Room
- Reconstructed operations rooms
- Maps connected with the invasion of Sicily
Useful to know
- Combine the rooms with Upper Barrakka Gardens directly above the complex.
- Check the operator's entrance and tour instructions before descending into the ditch.
