Upper Barrakka Gardens offer a tranquil escape from the bustling streets below, perched on the bastions of Senglea. The garden's shaded arcades, fountains, and flowerbeds create a peaceful atmosphere. Its main draw is the breathtaking panorama of the Grand Harbour, with views of Valletta, Fort St. Angelo, and the Three Cities. A daily tradition is the firing of the Noon Day Gun from the Saluting Battery, a spectacle that draws crowds.
Don't miss
- The panoramic terrace overlooking the Grand Harbour and Valletta
- The Noon Day Gun firing ceremony at 12:00
- The ornate arches and historic monuments within the garden
