Lower Barrakka Gardens

The Lower Barakka Gardens (Maltese: Il-Barrakka t'Isfel) are a public garden in Valletta, Malta, twinned with the Upper Barrakka Gardens in the same city.[1]

The gardens have a view of the Grand Harbour and the breakwater. It includes the Monument to Sir Alexander Ball, which is a prominent feature in the form of a neoclassical temple located in the centre of the garden. In addition, the terrace area features various commemorative plaques dedicated to, amongst others, the Hungarian revolution of 1956, the Prague spring, Giuseppe Garibaldi and the 50th anniversary of the European Union.[citation needed] There is also a statue.
