Lower Barrakka Gardens

Nestled along the edge of Valletta’s historic ramparts, the Lower Barrakka Gardens offer a serene and picturesque setting. Originally designed to provide a tranquil space for the knights of St. John, the gardens now welcome visitors with their lush landscaping, including vibrant flowers, gentle fountains, and tall palm trees. From this vantage point, one can enjoy panoramic views eastward to the entrance of the Grand Harbor and southward to Fort St. Angelo and the Three Cities of Malta: Vittorioso, Senglea, and Cospicua. Today, the gardens serve as a peaceful retreat, offering both locals and tourists a place to relax and take in the scenic beauty of the surrounding area.
