LOWER BARRAKKA GARDENS + SIEGE BELL WAR MEMORIAL | Valletta, Malta | Tour April 2023

Описание: The Lower Barrakka Gardens is a garden in Valletta, Malta, and it is twinned with the Upper Barrakka Gardens.

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 center 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.

Perched above the Grand Harbour, the Siege Bell Memorial is a simple monument symbolizing the plight of the many people who fought and died for Malta during the Second World War. It was built in 1992 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of when Malta received the George Cross for the display of bravery and valor shown during the attacks on the island from 1940-42. The Siege Bell Memorial was unveiled by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in 1992. Its modest design blends with the natural surroundings and majestic fortifications built by the Knights of St John, leaving a lasting impression on all those who visit. Below the Bell, a catafalque lies. There, visitors can see a statue dedicated to the ‘Unknown Soldier’, symbolizing all the people who died at war.
