This time my adventure takes me to our capital city Valletta.I took a tour from Heritage Malta and was amazing. We will be visiting valletta underground tunnels .Here is what Heritage Malta has to say about this place. Descend into the fascinating depths of Valletta, built first as a fortress and then as a city. Valletta’s underground was its lifeline. Apart from tunnels for the movement of troops and for grain storage, underground spaces were essential for two other crucial factors: water and drainage, both vital for survival of the city under siege, but also during peace time.
Centuries later, a new frenzy of digging began. The Second World War saw 17,000 tonnes of bombs dropped over Malta. The population of Valletta moved underground into a dense network of shelters that expanded on existing tunnels and cisterns to shield people from certain death. A tale of desperation, and resistance.
Valletta, a world heritage site, cannot be fully appreciated without experiencing what lies beneath it. A unique experience of defence and survival.

@@markus_dev_cwbYes true
A CITY BENEATH A CAPITAL CITY 🔦 🕳 .
Amazing manually dug tunnels and water reservoirs to later be altered/used as WW2 shelters ! 😲 Apparently, they use to get those mosaic tiles from bomb damaged/demolished houses to make their "shelter room" a bit homely 😊. Sad days 😔 .
THANKS PIERRE 🚶 🎥 👏 .
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
Thanks John, exactly. Cannot imagine what they must have gone trough!
Thank you Pierre, I lived in Malta over 10 years and never went down under Valletta, ashamed of myself, next time I visit I will.
Trevor glad you liked the video
How lovely to see my home town without having to leave the UK.
Thanks for this!!!
Thanks, that’s the purpose of these videos, have around 140 video of Malra on my channel , hope they bring you nice memories
That's an interesting place to explore! Two thumbs up!
Thank you Pablo
I've seen that entry so many times, but never knew what lies below. This was fascinating.
Thank you Tina
Hey Pierre, just wanted to say hello and say thank you for showing Paul Cook around the Tunnels of Malta. 👍👍
My pleasure!!
Thanks for sharing this interesting historical vlog. Amazing how much open minded and hard workers were those men to finalize such immense structures to save and store huge amount of precious water and later to modify it to accommodate and save hundred of people during the 2nd world war. Well done and thanks again Pierre.👍👍
Thanks Ben, amazing what people had to do just to store water !
Nice sharing my friend. Thanks for the tour👍👍👍
Thank hou
Hi Pierre, another really fascinating video. Some people of today think that they have it bad, they should think about the poor people that had to endure that way of life during the war. Many thanks.
Exactly 100% agree 👍
Hi, these places underground never cease to amaze me, how extensive they are, just think where all those blocked off tunnels go to wow. Thankyou Pierre. 👍😊
Thanks John, same here, you know i love underground and history .
Hi that was an excellent video and i really enjoyed it so much seeing on the video the underground Tour of Valletta. The Maltese Capital City is so beautiful its one of my favourite places to visit when I am in Malta.
Thank you appreciate
Paul Cook sent me! I'm so glad he did, I really enjoy your videos.
Wow thank you
Nice channel Pierre! Paul Cook sent me over , I hope you both do more together :) I've been binge watching your videos.
Thank you, hopefully soon, have a very interesting cave for him !ruclips.net/video/ejusl05z0e0/видео.html
Wow
Thank you
Geopolymer everywhere
Sorry cannot understand
What material is covering the walls?? It looks like a coating over the original stone
From what i recall from the guide it’s from that era but forgot the name sorry
Not as friendly as my guide, Dont understand some people ....Hes taking a public tour and don't wanna be on camera ...lol 😂 😂
That’s what I told him, I mentioned you, but have to say at the end he was very friendly and we did find a way to still make my video.
Yes Steve, unfortunately Pierre's guide wasn't "camera friendly 🎥" like yours. Maybe he was afraid of being "fact checked 📝" by viewers 😅. It was his prerogative & loss - can't be nominated for an Academy Award 😅. However, as Pierre said, "the guide" WAS a lovely bloke 😊.
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
Not sure why at the entertrance there is fire extinguishers it’s a stone tunnel
maybe cause it had both fire exits just in case
Gods watter. .be save???
Sorry didn’t understand ☺️
@@PierreFarrugia save the tablets of watter
Underground death cult?
These are WW2 Air raid shelters
is my vision correct, were visitors wearing hair nets?
Yes
@@PierreFarrugia that's a bit strange, why?
@@gogmagog3576 Since we used their safety caps, I think it’s normal, like when you hire a bike and you use a head net due to hygiene issues !
