Lascaris War Rooms

The Lascaris War Rooms are a network of underground bunkers in Valletta, Malta, built during World War II to serve as a military command center. They housed vital communication and coordination units for Allied forces, particularly for controlling operations in the Mediterranean and North Africa. Designed to withstand bombings, these rooms were equipped with advanced radio and communication equipment, allowing leaders to make real-time strategic decisions while remaining protected. Today, they are a historic site open to visitors, offering insight into wartime communication and Malta’s crucial role during the conflict.
