The Upper Barrakka Gardens (Maltese: Il-Barrakka ta' Fuq) are a public garden located in Valletta, Malta. Together with the Lower Barrakka Gardens in the same city, they offer panoramic views of the Grand Harbour. The gardens are situated on the upper level of the St. Peter and Paul Bastion, built in the 1560s. The lower level of the bastion contains the Saluting Battery. The terraced arches of the garden were constructed in 1661 by the Italian knight Fra Flaminio Balbiani. They were originally covered, but the roof was removed following the Priests' Uprising of 1775. Terrace area. The gardens were originally used for recreation by the Italian-speaking Knights of the Order of St. John, but were opened to the public after the end of the French occupation of Malta in 1800. Within the park are several monuments and memorials to a number of prominent figures, including Gerald Strickland, Sir Thomas Maitland, and Sir Winston Churchill. A replica of the statue "Les Gavroches" by Maltese sculptor Antonio Sciortino is also located in the garden. The original is in MuŻa. This is the highest point of the city walls, and its adjoining terrace offers an unobstructed view of the Grand Harbour, the Three Cities, as well as the Dockyard and the lower parts of the capital. The gardens are connected to the Valletta Moat and the nearby Lascaris Quay by the Barrakka Lift. The first lift on the site was built in 1905, but was closed in 1973 and dismantled in 1983. The lift can be seen in operation in the 1968 British adventure film, A Twist of Sand. A new lift was inaugurated on December 15, 2012.

St. John's Co-Cathedral (Maltese: Kon-Katidral ta' San Ġwann) is a Roman Catholic co-cathedral in Valletta, Malta, dedicated to St. John the Baptist. It was built by the Order of St. John between 1572 and 1577, commissioned by Grand Master Jean de la Cassière as the conventual church of St. John (Maltese: Knisja Konventwali ta' San Ġwann). The church was designed by the Maltese architect Girolamo Cassar, who designed several of Valletta's most important buildings. In the 17th century, its interior was redecorated in the Baroque style by Mattia Preti and other artists. The church's interior is considered one of the finest examples of High Baroque architecture in Europe.
