Valletta is just as impressive underground as it is above! Beneath our historic streets lies a vast, interconnected subterranean network. Built by the Knights of St. John after 1565, these tunnels served as deep cisterns for fresh water, defensive passageways, and advanced drainage channels. Centuries later during WWII, the very same underground tunnels served as air-raid shelters that saved thousands of Valletta residents. 💬
