Upper Barrakka
Valletta's Upper Barrakka Gardens are a public garden. They provide a panoramic view of the Grand Harbor, together with the Lower Barrakka Gardens in the same city. The gardens are located on the upper terrace of the 1560s-built St. Peter & Paul Bastion. The Saluting Battery is located on the bastion's bottom deck. The tiered arches in the garden were erected in 1661 by the Italian knight Fra Flaminio Balbiani. They were originally roofed, but the ceiling was destroyed during the Priests' Rising in 1775.

National Museum of Archaeology
The National Museum of Archaeology is Maltese in Valletta, and it houses prehistoric, Phoenician, and numismatic items. Heritage Malta manages it. The museum's bottom floor displays ancient items from the Maltese islands, ranging from the Gar Dalam period (5200 BC), the first manifestation of population on the island, through the Tarxien era (2500 BC). As a result, the museum intends to open the first-floor galleries and expand the display to include archaeological objects from the Roman and Medieval periods as soon as possible.

St John's Co-Cathedral is a Roman Catholic co-cathedral honoring Saint John the Baptist. It was erected as the Conventual Church of Saint John by the Order of St. John between 1572 and 1577, after being commissioned by Grand Master Jean de la Cassière. The church was created by Maltese architect Girolamo Cassar, who also designed numerous other notable structures in Valletta. Mattia Preti and other painters redecorated its interior in the Baroque style in the 17th century. The interior of the church is regarded as one of Europe's greatest examples of high Baroque architecture.
