What To Expect
Triton Fountain
The Triton Fountain located just outside the City Gate of Valletta consists of three bronze Tritons holding up a large basin. The fountain is one of Malta's most important Modernist landmarks. It was first inaugurated in 1959 and was restored in 2018.
Valletta City Gate
The City Gate is located within the Porta Reale Curtain, a curtain wall between St. James' and St. John's Bastions which are joined by a bridge spanning across Valletta's deep ditch. The gate marks the beginning of Republic Street, Valletta's main street which goes all the way to Fort Saint Elmo at the opposite end of the city. The present gate is the fifth one to have stood on the site and was completed in 2014 to designs of the Italian architect Renzo Piano.
