Underground Malta: Echoes of the Blitz

Step back in time and descend beneath the quiet streets of Ħal Għargħur, where echoes of the Second World War still linger. This immersive 360° experience takes you inside a wartime shelter on Ferdinand Street — a refuge carved into limestone by Maltese hands as enemy bombs rained from the skies above.

Once a haven for families fleeing the devastation of the Grand Harbour, the shelter tells the story of survival, solidarity, and resilience in one of Malta’s darkest chapters. Through its damp walls and narrow passages, you will discover what life was like underground — the fear, the endurance, and the unbreakable spirit of a people who refused to surrender.

More than a relic, this shelter stands as a living memory of Malta’s struggle and strength during the war — a place where history, humanity, and hope converged in the shadows.
