UNDERGROUND WATER CATHEDRAL in Malta , Naval Water Reservoir Malta,

100 years ago The Underground water Cathedral Luqa became home to a stunning and enormous naval reservoir designed and perfectly executed arches earned it the nickname of ‘The Underground Cathedral’. So after missing a couple of chances to go to one of the biggest Naval Water Reservoir in Malta, I final made it and what an awesome sight, you will love it !!

Thanks Steve, another great video. Had no idea about this reservoir. Malta just keeps throwing up surprise after surprise. Hidden treasures everywhere. This is just another thing to add to the long list of places to visit.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thanks 👍

[@johnembery7801]

I have to agree with this comment. This is awesome and would love to know more about it.etc. Truly magnificent Steve 🇲🇹

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

There are a few around the island, hopfully they clean them up like this one

[@johnembery7801]

@@EnglishmaninMalta Yes that would be brilliant. I just found out they are going to bring it back into use, also the other ones I presume the ones you said, about, this makes good sense for the island, thanks again Steve

[@antoinettefarrugia6513]

I enjoyed watching the video but those stairs are not safe they could collapse any minute. Thanks for sharing it

[@marielouiseborg1381]

The music is to appreciate the acoustics of the place. A concert was held there Christmas time ,I think

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes, i understand that, just sometimes if its copyright music the owner of the music can ask to have the video taken down, I am always concerned about this

[@terrywalker348]

Fascinating Steve, really enjoyed the video
