Housed within Fort St Elmo, Malta’s National War Museum takes you on an engrossing tour through the country’s history spanning from prehistoric times during the Bronze Age to the most recent political milestones such as Malta’s independence and admittance into the European Union. With a focus on Malta’s military history, the National War Museum will take you through the First and Second World War, as well as the lesser-known turbulent period where Malta was continuously occupied by greater powers, ranging from the Arabs and to the British. Despite its unassuming façade, the museum houses impressive modern facilities within, where eye-catching artefacts, memorabilia, and engaging exhibits will bombard you with interesting historic titbits. Treat yourself to an exploration of the authentic air raid shelter hidden beneath the fort for a more comprehensive experience, or simply admire the gorgeous views of the azure blue harbour from within the museum. From Roosevelt’s iconic jeep to the George Cross medal that now features on the Maltese flag, Malta’s National War Museum is an enriching history repository you cannot miss.
