The Malta at War Museum is located in Vittoriosa and stands to document the great ordeal which the brave people of Malta and their defenders had endured during the dark days of the Malta Blitz (1940-43) in WW2.  It sits on top of a massive underground rock-cut air raid shelter which offered refuge to hundreds of people. Ensconced within Dockyard Creek, Vittoriosa inevitably became one of the worst bombed places of the conflict with almost half of it being destroyed as a result of enemy action. The museum provides you with a good insight of what Malta went through during the two World Wars.
