Hastings Gardens, Valletta

Hastings Garden is located on top of the bastions on the West side of the entrance to Valletta; the recently embellished gardens offer a magnificent view of Floriana, Msida, Sliema, Manoel Island and Marsamxett Harbour and is the home to a monument raised in honour of Lord Hastings who was a former British governor of Malta.

Even though the gardens are relatively small they are still very attractive and provide a quiet, shaded place to rest away from the bustle of Valletta itself.

This image shows some of the shaded areas and one of the typical Maltese look out towers on the city bastions.
