MDINA DUNGEONS

Located just inside the city's main gate, the dungeons house a series of life-size glass fibre tableaux representing characters, famous and infamous, from Malta's history. The exhibits present vivid pictures of sufferance and cruelties experienced in those days. The life-like figures are in period costume and they are shown handling instruments, tools and utensils associated with that subterranean environment. The sound and light effects impart a feeling of awe, and an impression of interaction with the figures on display. Some graphic scenes of torture are not for the squeamish and very young children!
