Valletta - Freedom Square / Triton Fountain

To the southeast of Hastings Gardens is the City Gate of Valletta, in front of which is Freedom Square, at the end of Republic Street. Outside the gate is a large square, in the center of which is the Triton Fountain. Here, too, is the City Gate Bus Terminus, starting-point of all Malta's bus routes.

The Great Ditch, part of the old fortifications, leads via a new gate built in 1968 to Freedom Square.

The Triton Fountain is a contemporary Maltese work from the 1950s.
