Description

Valletta's most beautiful park, the Upper Barrakka Gardens, created on the bastion of St. Peter and Paul, is the highest and most impressive point of the city walls. The origins of the Upper Barrakka go back to 1661, when in effect it was a 'private' garden of the Italian knights of the Order of St. John, whose inn of residence (auberge) lies close by. It was not before 1824 that it was opened as a public garden.

The Upper Barrakka offers a magnificent view over the Grand Harbour and the old towns of Senglea and Birgu, Fort St. Angelo, Fort Ricasoli in Kalkara, at the shipyard as well as the lower-lying parts the capital.
