Description
Think you know Valletta? Then think again. This walking tour will teach you the truth about the capital’s dark and bloody past.
Valletta might be a UNESCO World Heritage site, but beneath all the charm of its streets and squares lies a darker side to the city’s story.
During this walking tour you’ll discover the truth about Jean de Valette, the founder of Malta’s capital city – and how he didn’t actually like Malta.
You’ll also discover how the ghost of 16th Century knight Oliver Starkey haunted a house in the 1990s – and how he’s still causing trouble there today.
Hear the shocking letter a lovesick man sent to the woman he was obsessed with, shortly before he murdered her, and learn why hundreds of boys once entered a church in the city but didn't come out alive.
All this, and more, on The Dark History of Valletta tour.
Please note: Valletta has hills and some steps so a reasonable amount of fitness is required
