  • Barrakka Gardens Named the Upper Barrakka and the Lower Barrakka, Both Gardens Offer a Stunning View of the Grand Harbour
    "The difference between the ordinary and extraordinary is the little 'extra' "- colours of malta The Barrakka Gardens Named the Upper Barrakka and the Lower Barrakka, both gardens offer a stunning view of the Grand Harbour. These beautiful gardens are located on the outer part of Valletta’s fortified walls. The Upper Barrakka garden, especially, is a must. Built on top of a demi-bastion, both locals and foreigners relish spending hours taking in the sights. A number of statues and monuments adorn the gardens, including one dedicated to Winston Churchill. These colonnaded gardens perched high above Grand Harbour were created in the late 16th century as a relaxing haven for the Knights from the nearby Auberge d'Italie. They provide a shady retreat from the bustle of the city, and the balcony has one of the best views in Malta. The terrace below is occupied by the Saluting Battery , where a cannon once fired salutes to visiting naval vessels. A monument dedicated to Captain Ball is located in the centre of the Lower Barrakka Gardens. The battery has been restored, and a cannon is fired every day at noon and 4pm with great ceremony. It's well worth making time to see this – children will enjoy it. Try to time for your visit for a tour – the enthusiastic, costumed guides explain how the cannon is loaded and fired. Historical Value of the Gardens Perched on the Bastion of St. Peter and St. Paul, the Upper Barrakka Gardens offer a splendid panorama of the Grand Harbour. Originally the Barrakka was out of bounds for the locals.
