This is the last of four cemeteries adjoining the Floriana bastions which survives. The bastions were built in the 17th century and saw brief action on Napoleon's arrival in 1798, but after the French surrender in 1880, Protestant burials began in the area. A pair of George 3 cannons, each weighting four tons and an older ones from Knights period are still on site as a reminder of the bastions original purpose. The cemetery provides splendid views along the bastions and across to Manole Island. The location started being used for open air events and festivals.

I can definetly recommend the tour at the cemetary. It costs 5€ and is more than worth it. It was around the whole cemetary enhanced with very interesting facts and historical background, told in an entertaining and suspensful way. Not only is the cemetary beautiful, thanks to the tour, you appreciate it even more. At the end there are tea/coffee and biscuits waiting for you.

This old abandoned cemetery boasts a beautiful view on the harbour and with its tranquility and peacefulness it makes you feel how history has gone by in this area. The atmosphere is what I enjoyed most here during my stroll around. Unfortunately the condition of the tombs are partially not quite good. 2€ per adult.

I used to be a volunteer there and I really liked working because not only were the people nice but it also was quiet and peaceful. If I have the chance I would definitely visit again :)
