Why go
From this height, the harbour's military geography becomes easy to understand. Birgu, Senglea, shipyards and the channels between them spread below the arches. The garden also holds monuments and a replica of Antonio Sciortino's Les Gavroches, connecting a brief outdoor pause with Malta's public sculpture and naval history.
What to look for
- The Three Cities across Grand Harbour
- The Saluting Battery on the tier below
- Sciortino's Les Gavroches replica
Useful to know
