The Valetta Gun Emplacements and the Upper Barrakka Gardens, located in the Il-Belt Valletta area of Malta, are must-see locations for any visitor to the island. The gun emplacements, built at the start of the 19th century during the reign of the Order of St. John, provides visitors with a chance to grasp the military history of the island nation. Accessed through the Gardens, the emplacements offer spectacular views of the harbor entrance. The Gardens themselves provide an oasis of green and tranquillity, a perfect place to admire the beauty of the old city. The gardens are full of flora and fauna, flowers and even peacocks. A small cafe is located at the base of the Gardens for visitors to enjoy a peaceful spot of refreshment.
