The gardens on the upper tier of St. Peter & Paul Bastion. Upper Barrakka Gardens, Valletta, Malta.

---

The gardens are located on the upper tier of St. Peter & Paul Bastion, which was built in the 1560s. The bastion's lower tier contains the Saluting Battery. The gardens were originally used to offer recreation to the knights of the Italian langue of the Order of Saint John, but were opened to the public following the end of the French occupation of Malta in 1800.
