Republic Street
Republic Street, historically known as Strada Reale or Kingsway, is a principal street in the capital city of Valletta. It is about 1 kilometre long and is known for legislative, judicial, and commercial purposes. It is mostly pedestrianised.
Republic Street extends from City Gate towards the granaries at Fort St. Elmo. In its downward course, the main street runs perpendicular to several other streets, given Valletta's grid layout. It also encounters several buildings and squares of note, such as City Gate, Freedom Square, the Parliament of Malta, Palazzo Ferreria, Royal Opera House, the Archaeology Museum, St. John's Square, the Courts of Justice, the Casino Maltese, Republic Square, Grandmaster's Palace, St. George's Square, Spinola Palace, the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise, and Industry, Casa Rocca Piccola, and others.
