☠️ Valletta is an ancient city, with dark stories hiding in its shadows.
🩸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 much more, on the Dark History of Valletta walking tour 📍 Meeting point is the Triton Fountain.
**Please book in advance to avoid disappointment**
🎟 Tickets are €15 and you can book via Facebook Messenger or +356 99892628 or through darkmaltatours.com to secure your place.
