Half Day Private Valletta a Baroque Masterpiece
What your day looks like
Valletta Experiences: Valletta, a peninsular masterpiece crafted by the Knights of St John after the Great Siege of 1565 stands as a UNESCO-graded capital city. An enchanting journey through time awaits you, with its vibrant blend of history and contemporary culture, gridded street pattern, beautiful baroque architecture, and panoramic vistas from its gardens. Upper Barrakka Gardens: A visit to Upper Barrakka Gardens promises a breathtaking panoramic experience. Perched on the edge of the Grand Harbour, it offers an unparalleled view of the Mediterranean's only natural harbor, framed by the historic Three Cities. Stroll through the greenery, enjoy tranquil moments by the fountains, and be captivated by the mesmerising sights. St. John's Co-Cathedral: Built in the 16th century, this baroque jewel is more than just a place of worship; it is a visual symphony of art and architecture. The austere exterior of the cathedral gives way to a breathtaking interior adorned with ornate gilded embellishments, as well as Caravaggio’s largest and only signed masterpiece - The Beheading of St John the Baptist. Grand Master's Palace: Newly restored and majestically presiding over St George’s Square in Valletta's core, the Grand Master’s Palace beckons you to explore its 450-year legacy as a beacon for the nation. Serving as the prestigious seat of the Office of The President, the palace also houses an extensive armoury, a testament to the Order's illustrious past and enduring heritage.
