The
Upper Barracca Gardens
in Valletta are
situated near Auberge de Castille and
possess unsurpassed views across the Grand
Harbour over to the Three Cities.
The origins of the Upper Barracca Gardens
go back to 1661, when it was a private
garden of the Italian Knights, whose inns of
residence (Auberges) lie close by. It was not
before 1824 that it was opened as a public
garden and during World War II the garden
suffered much destruction. The paths are
lined with busts, statues and plaques that
chart various personalities and other
significant events in Maltese history.
