When the Upper Barrakka Gardens were built in 1661, this was one of several arches that supported a roof over the terrace. Today, II-Barrakka ta’ Fuq is a popular venue among tourists and locals. They appreciate the respite from the summer sun while enjoying the tranquility of the public garden and its many statues including one honoring Winston Churchill. From here you can take an elevator 262 feet down to the waterfront along the Grand Harbour.
