Manoel Island Isolation Hospital Tunnels Malta

Hello all, this time we are in Manuel Island and we going to explore a place called Lazzaretto Quarantine hospital . First we will explore it's extensive underground tunnels and them the upper part.
The Lazzaretto (Maltese: Lazzarett) is a former quarantine facility and hospital on Manoel Island in Gżira, Malta. It is a complex of various buildings dating back to between the 17th and 19th centuries. Most of the structures still exist, although they are in a bad state due to damage sustained during World War II and over 30 years of abandonment. It is planned that the Lazzaretto be restored.
Hope you enjoy, and if you know any info bout this place feel free to comment below.

Amazing hidden history. The mind boggles that so much is hidden away and not restored. I get fed up with listening to 'talking heads' saying no money, no money but they all have lovely yachts surrounding the island. It was lovely seeing it Boys, Great stuff!!!💗

[@PierreFarrugia]

Thanks

[@IsmaelBrincatz]

This had been a really nice vlog exploring the Lazzaretto. It's a pretty big hospital used in back then with lots of historic remainings. Good job buddy :)

[@johnpeterfenech3634]

Nice to see one my childhood hangout places back again , could those cylinders be torpedos since as you know it used to be a submarine depot there ? I recall from my memory that they where there . 👍

[@PierreFarrugia]

No idea, but interesting

[@anabelcoats]

This made me smile so much, it's such an amazing places with so many hidden treasures

[@GetOutandKayakMalta]

Absolutely awesome! It is a travesty the Maltese government allows these majestic places go to rot. At least we have brave patriots that go to them and make vlogs for us. Thanks again and as always, massive well done. Proset ta vera.

[@PierreFarrugia]

Thanks buddy

Yes and amazing place

[@johnbonnici8048]

In the early 1950's I was isolated in the then Lazzarett hospital because of the prevailing Polio outbreak and a doctor's suspicion that I had Polio. I remember very clearly, I wasn't yet 3 years old, being tied to the bed's headrest, like Christ to the cross. My mother used to say that I was kept there for a whole month and nobody was allowed to visit me. Only my spinster aunt was given a special permission to stay with me due to my very btender age. Luckily it transpired that I didn't have Polio.

[@PierreFarrugia]

Thanks for sharing, an other subscriber commented that was there too.

[@matthewcassar1395]

I heard a company called MIDI plc was planning to restore it and turn it into a hotel. Is that ever going to happen?

[@PierreFarrugia]

Who knows, wish to know this too.

[@darrylformosa5150]

Thanks for sharing! Where is the entrance of the hospital? Would love to pay it a visit!

[@PierreFarrugia]

contact me on fb

[@mariofarrugia90]

these places have to be taken by heritage malta so that they can make them as they where before which would be interesting when they open to the public

[@PierreFarrugia]

100% agree

[@susanbaker1663]

I used to live opposite in Ta-X'Biex and never knew about the underground world there! When was Lazaretto last occupied?

[@PierreFarrugia]

If I am not mistaken 1950 approx

[@susanbaker1663]

@@PierreFarrugia Might have been a bit later than that; Possibly late 50's at least...........

[@susanbaker1663]

From Wikipedia: "The Lazzaretto reopened as a hospital in 1949, and remained so until the departure of the Royal Navy from Malta in the 1970s. It was subsequently abandoned, and it fell into a state of disrepair.[4] Since its closure, part of the Lazzaretto was also used as a shelter for abandoned dogs.[4]"

[@susanbaker1663]

Meaning of Lazzaretto: A lazaretto or lazaret is a quarantine station for maritime travellers. Lazarets can be ships permanently at anchor, isolated islands, or mainland buildings. In some lazarets, postal items were also disinfected, usually by fumigation. This practice was still being done as late as 1936, albeit in rare cases.

[@PierreFarrugia]

@@susanbaker1663 Thanks for your info, good to know and learn, thanks for sharing 👍

[@brendamusu5251]

Thanks for sharing 😊 it's a shame for all those who did all those graffiti

[@PierreFarrugia]

100% agree, the more I visit such place the more I ealise, we need to protect them.

[@charlenemontebello1314]

Can you please explain how to get to the entry of the tunnel please?

[@PierreFarrugia]

Unfortunatly I heard that this tunnel has been closed by an iron net lately

[@jordimarkalain6416]

Hi Pierre, is the entrance next to the sea or the path? Thanks and well done

[@yanliu4192]

Dear Pierre, we want to explore this hospital on private tour. Can you be our guide? We have a few teenagers. Could you please contact me?

[@PierreFarrugia]

I am sorry but I don’t , also from what I heard the place from where I got in has been blocked off, thanks for asking
