When architect Edward Said descended to the tunnels below Valletta for the first time in 2005, he was frustrated by dead ends.

But it was no dead end for his studies on subterranean Valletta.

The labyrinth below the capital reflects the development of the city - from sewers and water culverts to shelters and military escape tunnels. Some of them, he told timesofmalta.com extend to Floriana and even beyond.

Subterranean Valletta will be the subject of a public lecture by Mr Said, organised by Din l-Art Helwa, which will be held tomorrow at 6 p.m. at 133 Melita Street, Valletta.
