The Dark History of Valletta - Walking Tour
Overview
Valletta is an old city, with dark stories to tell.
This walking tour will teach you the truth about the Maltese capital's shocking and bloody past.
You'll learn what Jean de Valette, the capital’s founder, really thought of Malta and the Maltese, and you'll hear why hundreds of boys once entered a church in the city - but did not come out alive.
The dark streets will also reveal how the ghost of 16th-century knight Sir Oliver Starkey threw parties in the 1990s, and how he's still disturbing the peace today.
And you'll discover the strange legend of Nelson’s Hook, named after the famous British admiral.
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
