The Upper Barrakka Gardens - Valletta, Malta - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

The Upper Barrakka Gardens (Maltese: Il-Barrakka ta' Fuq) is a public park in Valletta. From the park there is a panoramic view of the Grand Harbour.
The park was established in 1661 and was the private gardens and exercise grounds of the Knights of the langue of Italy. It was not until 1824 that the park was opened to the public.

In the park you can sit and relax while looking at the fountain, the trees or the many flowers. However, the park is probably best known for the beautiful view over the Grand Harbour.
You can also walk around the park and look at sculptures or the many memorials from World War II.
