What travellers are saying
- Paul D7 contributionsA well presented collection of artifacts providing an insight to the hardship and trauma of the second world war from the perspective of the ordinary maltese civilian.
See the remnants of wartime Malta diplayed in the museum then experience first hand the conditions in the air raid shelters. See the operating rooms, treatment areas and sleeping arrangements people used whilst sheltering from the massive air raids which Malta suffered at the hands of the Italians and Germans.Written 15 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Although Fort St. Angelo was the biggest site, I was least impressed with it. Standing at the fort helped me appreciate the strategic and military significance of the location and of Malta in general across millennia.
The fort would really appeal to a military history buff. I was less interested in the 20th-century military history and the architectural details of the structure of the fort.
I should note that my husband and I ended up going around noon on a very hot day, so we stayed in what shade there was and were desperate for AC. It would be smart to go at a cooler time of day and year!
The multi-site ticket is a good value, and I do recommend seeing all three locations!Written 2 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Indeed, after all the gold and extensive decoration at the Co-cathedral of St. John, this was a refreshing change - a much simpler, less grand place that seems more like a parish church. The history of the church is also very interesting. Some restoration work was ongoing but it did not detract from our visit. A small donation was requested to enter.Written 18 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mike H3 contributionsInteresting museum detailing the Roman inquisition in the heart of historic Birgu. Informative and evocative with videos to bring to live.Written 29 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bunty8North Ayrshire, UK521 contributionsVisited with our Heritage multipass. The ground floor exhibits were engines, machines and tools used on ships.
Upstairs was better with models of ships through the years and various displays.
The building itself is interesting being a former Naval bakery.
If you tie it in with other heritage sites in Birgu it is worth a visit.Written 28 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a very interesting, restored room. What was most interesting is what looks like a well in the corner, or was it a privy? Leave a donation to help with further restoration.Written 20 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EriksmamCarlisle, UK9 contributionsCalling in to this small museum in a very hot and sunny morning we were initially just happy to escape the heat for a few moments.
Due to the really friendly and knowledgeable man in charge we began to appreciate what a treasure trove of artefacts we had stumbled across. He obviously loved his exhibits and had a few rooms absolutely crammed with all sorts of bits and pieces some religious but others from the local area and of local interest.
Truly a labour of love.Written 31 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Linda VDaugavpils, Latvia10 contributionsNice place to visit if you are nearby. I would not travel just to see Notre Dame Gate by itself, but if you are nearby - go check it out!Written 11 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StavrosValentinaAthens, Greece356 contributionsWe enjoyed St Anne’s church’s view while walking around in Birgu!
The church’s architecture and aesthetics are great!Written 3 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would liked to have visited on foot but we came across this area on the last day of our holiday and we weren't staying local.
Definitely take a visit.Written 20 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They run the Malta at War Museum, Lascaris War Rooms and Fort Rinella and offer a combo ticket which can be purchased online and well in advance of your visit. They also are obviously looking after other sites across Malta which are not necessarily open to the public (yet), Mistra Battery overlooking St Paul's Bay being an example. Not to be confused with Heritage Malta, this organisation, in my opinion, deserves all the support we can offer by visiting their sights.Written 20 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Debbie WReigate, UK928 contributionsIt’s a very large and dominating church but once inside there is nothing truly special about this place compared to other churches in area.Written 13 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
