The Lascaris War Rooms in Valletta, Malta, are a historic underground complex that served as the Allied war headquarters during World War II. Located beneath the Upper Barrakka Gardens, this labyrinthine network of tunnels and chambers was pivotal in coordinating the defense of Malta and the Mediterranean region. The War Rooms housed operational centers, communication hubs, and strategic planning rooms, playing a crucial role in the success of various military operations, including the defense against Axis air raids and the planning of the Allied invasion of Sicily.
