Valletta Must-Sees

Valletta’s UNESCO-listed grid contains a high concentration of Baroque and Mannerist architecture. This collection spans from the Renzo Piano-designed City Gate to the tip of Fort St. Elmo, covering key sites like St. John's Co-Cathedral, which houses Caravaggio’s masterpieces. The Grandmaster's Palace and Casa Rocca Piccola offer insights into noble and administrative life, while the National Museum of Archaeology displays artifacts from Malta's prehistoric temples. For panoramic views of the Grand Harbour, visit the Upper and Lower Barracca Gardens, or witness the daily noon gun at the Saluting Battery.
