À propos
Faits rapides: Perched high above the Grand Harbour, the gardens offer sweeping views of historic fortifications and busy ship traffic below. A daily cannon firing tradition at noon draws both locals and tourists, echoing through the harbor.
Points forts: The Upper Barrakka Gardens conceal 18th-century underground casemates beneath their serene terraces, once part of a secret defense network. At the break of noon, a cannon shot from the Saluting Battery fires right beneath the gardens, creating an unforgettable sonic spectacle.

- Catch the noon cannon firing for an auditory thrill and optimal photo moments.
