Beautiful and very peaceful garden - not many people there at all. Pretty much panoramic views, from the Triton fountain and Floriana round to Valletta’s famous dome, including views of Sliema and Manoel Island & fort. The look-out towers are not accessible to the public, but it’s nice to get up close to them anyway. There are also some canons, and it’s pretty impressive just seeing how thick the city walls are. Plenty of benches and there is a cafe/bar (which was closed on the Sunday we visited). It would have been nice to have had some plaques of information, such as who the tomb/temple is dedicated to, or about the city walls and it’s structure.

Hastings Gardens is a public garden in Valletta, Malta. It is located on top of St. John's Bastion and St. Michael's Bastion, on the west side of the City Gate. The garden offers views of Floriana, Msida, Sliema, and Manoel Island. Inside the garden is a monument placed by the Hastings family in honor of Francis, Marquis of Hastings, who was a governor of Malta. Lord Hastings died in 1826 and is buried in the garden. It is also a Maltese legend that the Gardens took only 4 hours to be built. This legend comes from the fact that the Maltese people are hard workers. Adriano DeVina is the only known architect of the gardens.

The Hastings Garden in Malta is a very large multi-level park with small garden areas throughout and trees all around the entire park. Views of the Triton Fountain and the surrounding square can be seen from one end of the park while the city of Silema can be viewed from the other end. There is a small fountain in the middle of the lower level with benches to enjoy the views. A cafe is nestled in the middle of the park offering coffees and beers along with some small pastries. The park is free to enter and a quiet place to rest before touring the city of Valletta.

Legend has it Hastings Gardens took only four hours to build... the Maltese are known as hard workers. Lord Hastings, a former governor of Malta is buried in the gardens with a beautiful monument centrepiece of the gardens. From the gardens you get some spectacular views over the Valletta City Gate, Triton Fountain, Floriana, Msida, Sliema, Manoel Island and Marsamxett Harbour. A beautiful spot for a little peace and quiet from daily life located just to the west of the city gate at the top end of the city.

The many amazing places of Valletta, Malta. Valletta is impressive. It’s not like most other cities. The vibe and the tiny roads are a Maltese signature. The gardens are beautiful too and definitely impressive. Valletta is naturally beautiful, it’s a gem 💎 like no other. Overlooking the Malta port is amazing too. More reasons to love Malta and Maltese culture. This is an amazing city and a great garden to kill time or enjoy your day.

Set upon the ramparts of the old city wall, Hastings Garden is a great place to take a time out from the busy streets of Valletta. The gardens house a monument to Lord Hastings - a former British governor of Malta. The gardens are rarely crowded and offer great views of the harbor and the Valletta city gate as well as the large bastions positioned along the city walls.
