Une visite aux jardins supérieurs de Barrakka est incontournable ; vous pourrez y admirer une vue imprenable sur le magnifique Grand Port, offrant un cadre idéal pour des photos mémorables. Les jardins sont situés sur le niveau supérieur du bastion Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul, construit dans les années 1560. Le niveau inférieur du bastion abrite la batterie de salut. Les arches en terrasse du jardin ont été construites en 1661 par le chevalier italien Fra Flaminio Balbiani. À l'origine, elles étaient couvertes, mais le plafond a été retiré après la révolte des prêtres en 1775.

Your journey will also lead you to MUŻA, the National Museum of Fine Arts. Nestled within the historic Auberge d'Italie, this museum showcases a diverse collection of works from both Maltese and international artists.

You will also visit the Collegiate Parish Church of St. Paul’s Shipwreck, one of Valletta’s oldest churches, which traces its origins back to the 1570s and was completed in 1582. Inside, you’ll be awed by the magnificent marble interiors and an array of artistic treasures, including the stunning altarpiece by Matteo Perez d’Aleccio, works by Attilio Palombi and Giuseppe Calì, and the revered statue of St. Paul, carved in 1659.
