Yes, it's rather small, but it's definitely wort a visit and here's why: 1. It's not that expensive. The entry fee is 3€ but there's a combi ticket for the Mosta Rotunda and its inner gallery which includes the WWII shelter and it's only 5€. 2. It's very informative! There are lots of information boards in different languages (-> picture). It's not just a museum but an actual shelter (hence the name) which is rather rare in my opinion. It's interesting to see how people actually had to hide in those shelters, the little space they had. 3. It also gives information about how people lived back then. Not only about the shelter but it also displays e.g. tools that farmers or other professions used. All in all I can only recommend it.

Ticket: included in the price of the church ticket (5€/person) Time: 10 minutes (maybe less) It tells a story. Seeing the leftover belongings of the people who used these quarters as a safe heaven brings some special emotions. There are few locked out parts of shelter so, you only get to walk the main tunnel and se close one of the sleeping chambers.

What's special about this place is that during the war there was a bomb that went through the roof but the grenade didn't explode.Keep the people in the bunker safe.No one died and The real bomb can still be seen today. Unfortunately, during the time I traveled outside, There is construction work in front of the building.

For a few years this island was the most bombed place in the world and so you can see why they were needed. Dug out pretty much by hand and simple enough tools. You can bu a multi ticket for it along the the church itself and the viewing gallery of the dome.

Well worth a visit to this beautiful place. Entrance fee is worth it. You get access to the rotunda and WW2 shelter too. No need to book in advance and an audio guide is available. The story about the UXB was fascinating. It even impressed the kids!!

Amazing how the people of Malta took refuge from the war, under the church, walk through the tight dug out spaces, with a labyrinth of passage ways and rooms harbouring people and families. Full of history detailing everything.
