The Tunnels – Gibraltar’s WWII Experience takes visitors through a section of Gibraltar’s WWII tunnels, featuring various exhibits and interactive elements that highlight Gibraltar’s significance during World War II.

Located within the tunnel complex excavated during the war, the attraction provides valuable insights into the efforts of the Gibraltarian population, military strategies, and the human endeavours of the era. The exhibition also features The Spitfire Hall, our event space with a full size replica of the GIBRALTAR Spitfire hanging from the ceiling
