The Lascaris War Rooms are dug in the rock beneath Lascaris Bastion, near Barracca Gardens. They were part of an impregnable underground complex of rooms and passages, which formed the nerve centre of Malta's defensive system during World War 2.
These were refurbished and are now open to the public. Important events of World War 2 to which these rooms are related, are introduced to visitors by means of audio-visual displays, diagrams, authentic photographs and a personal audio-guide.
