Additional Information

Birgu is renowned as an ancient maritime city with a rich history in military and naval activities, making it no surprise that the area is teeming with ghosts.

Imagine prisoners being beheaded by the Knights of St. John, their heads used as cannonballs against the Turks. Even today, the city is said to have ghosts wandering in search of their missing heads.

Public executions for those who confessed to crimes were commonplace. It’s also rumored that the Inquisitor’s palace once housed a well of swords, serving as a portal to eternal damnation. The Second World War, from 1940 to 1943, brought unavoidable death and destruction to the city.

These events, along with other dark periods in Birgu’s history, have left a lasting impact. Many still believe that ghosts haunt the city to this day. Join us for a thrilling adventure and uncover more about Birgu’s dark past…

Very professional service, highly recommend - We organised a private ghost tour for our community (Whereto360) and were very satisfied. The guide was very knowledgeable and included a lot of history and interesting stories about Birgu. Communication before the activity was also good and it was easy to book and pay online, we even received a reminder on the day. Overall very professional and highly recommended

Birgu ghost tour - The Birgu ghost tour is a must ... we really enjoyed the walk in the old city with tour guide Silvana , who not only narrated the ghost stories related to the place but also gave a simple yet interesting historical explanation to put us(maltese and foreigners) in the picture. Well done. We will definately join another tour soon Gabriella and Grant

Very informative tour on the history of Birgu with a dark history twist - Very informative tour on the rich history of Birgu with a dark twist given that it is a ghost tour. Seeing Birgu by night was fantastic to say the least and when a good guide like Matthew gives a meaning, through his historical knowledge, of all the fortifications and old buildings we have seen makes the atmosphere even more magical. Would highly recommend the tour, not to be missed if you are in Malta.
