Hi, They form part of the same complex. The War HQ Tunnels were used between 1940 and early 1943 during eth Air Battle for Malta and the Lascaris War Rooms replaced in May 1943 in time for the launching from them of Operation Husky - the Allied invasion of Sicily when they served as General Eisenhower's Head Quarters. They are two very large underground complexes hence being separated into two distinct visits with separate tickets. the whole of them measures an area of 38,000 square meters of tunnelling. We recommend doing them both either on the same day or on different days. Both went on in use until 1977.
