White Rocks, otherwise known as the ghost complex of the Maltese Islands, is a derelict spot surrounded by stunning views of the Mediterranean and the Maltese coastline. It was built by British Forces in the 1960s. Back then, the area was known as the St Patrick’s Officers Married Quarters and was used for accommodation purposes. When the british military personnel left Malta, White Rocks was handed over to the government and was gradually converted into a holiday complex. It became a prime location for accommodation housing language students studying in Malta during the summer months until 1995, as it was then left abandoned.

It has been quite damaged due to natural causes and vandalism (with broken glass scattered on the floor and clear areas were the bricks seem decaying on the stairs), however it well serves as a graffiti art museum both inside and outside. Graffiti artists have come to this place, painted a whole room as a one single piece of art, or made use of the big side walls of the complex, featuring a giant painting that can be seen from the coast road.
