Floriana

Sitting just outside Valletta’s fortified walls, Floriana feels like a quieter extension of the capital yet comes with its own unique character. Laid out in grand baroque style by architect Pietro Paolo Floriani, the town is filled with wide boulevards and elegant squares. Its location overlooking Marsamxett and Grand Harbour made it a natural choice for military fortifications, many of which still dominate the skyline. Today, Floriana blends history with community spirit, offering visitors charming churches, cultural landmarks, and a busy calendar of events.
