Overview

Your tour begins at the port and from here you will make your way over to the upper Barracca Gardens. These gardens date back to the 18th century and were a peaceful retreat for the pastime and recreation of the Knights. The panoramic views of the city, its two natural harbors, and the surrounding landscape are truly amazing from here.

Your tour continues with a visit to the Cathedral of St John, founded in 1577 by the Knights of St. John. This beautiful Cathedral is home to many famous works of art such as The Decapitation of St John by Caravaggio and it is also the main burial place of the Knights.

From here you will visit the Grand Masters Palace, formerly the residence of the Grand Masters of the Order. In 1800 it became the official residence of the British governors. The Palace is now the Presidential Office and Malta's Parliament house. The Palace provides an insight into the lifestyle of the Grand Masters, and an opportunity to view the knights armoire's, which is one of the largest collections of its kind in the world.

You will have free time for shopping before you return to the port.
