The Upper Barrakka Gardens (Maltese Il-Barrakka ta ’Fuq) are a public park in Valletta, the capital of Malta. They are located at the highest point of the city fortifications on the St. Peter and St. Paul Bastion and offer an excellent view of the Grand Harbor, the three classic cities of Vittorosia, Senglea and Cospicua, the suburb of Floriana and the large shipyard, the Fort St. Angelo and the Valletta Waterfront, where many cruise ships dock.

Stunning vantage point over the sea with lovely gardens and rows of old guns. A very relaxing place to spend some time at.
