Valletta - Upper Barracca Gardens

From the foot of St Barbara bastion it used to be possible to take an elevator up to the beautiful Upper Barracca Gardens, 200ft/60 m above, laid out on part of the old fortifications. From the gardens, in which there are several statues (including one of Churchill), there are magnificent views of Grand Harbor. Since the elevator is not operating, the best plan is to go to the Victoria Gate and turn left past the Church of St Mary of Jesus into St Ursula Street. The entrance to the Upper Barracca Gardens is at the end of the street, which leads into the spacious Castile Place.
