The garden features numerous shady resting spots surrounded by Mediterranean shrubs and historic monuments. Watch the cruise liners and other ships enter and leave the port, and see the neoclassical cenotaph dedicated to Alexander Ball, who led the joint Maltese and British armed forces during the Great Siege of Malta. Nearby attractions include a former hospital of the Maltese Knights.

Quieter than the upper level gardens, with views across the water and also a great view of the Siege Bell. There is good seating and shade and these gardens are a lovely place to sit for a while.

This was a short rest for us on our walk around the outside of Valetta and we enjoyed the view and the shade.

Very clean and nice place. The monument is very well preserved. Since this stone deteriorates very quickly through corrosion, it looks good. Our favourite is Enea's statueš There is also a war monument as in all the island. Nice point of view also.

These need to be visited. Views are amazing. Parking is easy to be found. Lots to do around the area. But a lot of walking to do. They have 2 areas. Upper and lower barrakka. I'd say give yourself 3-4 hours to do everything comfortably in the whole area without rushing.
