Inside Malta’s Inquisition Dungeons: What Really Happened Down There?

Ever wondered what it was like to be locked up in a dungeon hundreds of years ago? Well, Malta’s Mdina Dungeons are here to show you the spooky truth!

What Were the Mdina Dungeons?

The Mdina Dungeons were used long ago to punish people who broke the law or were accused of crimes like witchcraft. They were part of the Inquisition, a time when the church had a lot of power and people were punished harshly.

What Did They Do in the Dungeons?

Inside the dungeons, prisoners were kept in dark, cold rooms. Some were put on racks that stretched their bodies, while others were hung by their wrists. These punishments were meant to make people confess to things they might not have done.

What’s Inside the Mdina Dungeons Today?

Today, the Mdina Dungeons are a museum where you can see what life was like back then. There are life-sized models showing how people were treated, and you can learn about the history of Malta through these exhibits. It’s a bit spooky, but also really interesting!
