Offered in: English

Discover Birgu’s long history of witchcraft, magic and ghosts.

Hear about how there were once many witches in Malta and learn their ancient, sometimes gross, spells that will make someone fall in love with you or throw a curse on your ex.

You’ll also learn the tragic stories of the ghosts that roam the city’s palazzos and fortifications and see the church said to have been visited by the Devil himself.

This tour will show you the site of Malta’s biggest-ever explosion, the house where the executioner of Malta once lived, and reveal how – and why – a priest murdered his lover.

All this, and more, on the Witchcraft and Blood in Birgu tour.
