Welcome to Floriana

Portes Des Bombes This was once the principal entrance to Floriana and was built together with the other fortifications in the year 1721 by Grand Master Perellos, whose coat of arms has been placed at the top of this gate. The entrance has seen several modifications, particularly as a result of the gradual increase in traffic into Floriana and Valletta over the years.

The Lion Fountain Before coming to St. Anne's Street, which passes right through the centre of Floriana, lies a fountain with the statue of a lion. This was built by Grand Master Vilhena around 1728 and its majestic position guards the entry into Floriana.

St. Annes Street Certainly the most famous street in Floriana, it has undergone various changes over the years. After the war it was reconstructed and widened to cater for the ever increasing volumes of traffic. The street is characterised by the 'logog', arches on the sides which act as a meeting place for many due to the number of shops, bars and clubs they house.

Vilhena Monument This bronze monument depicts Grand Master Antoine Manoel de Vilhena, who gave his name to the town (Borgo Vilhena). It's location has changed for quite a few times until it was placed in this location. Restoration was carried out on this monument a few years ago.

The Granaries (Il-Fosos) When in Floriana, one cannot miss the extent of the granaries in the centre of the town. These granaries, commissioned by Richard More O'Farrell, Governor of Malta between , spread over much of Floriana in olden times and were used primarily to store grain. Today the main concentration of these granaries is in front of St. Publius' Church.

St. Publius Church The Floriana parish church is dedicated to St. Publius and is situated in the centre of the town, overlooking the granaries. Work on the current church started in 1733 and the church was extended through the years as the population grew. The church was consacrated in 1792 and it was given the status of a parish in The church houses a painting started by Favray and continued by his student Fillippo Vincenzo Pace, depicting the martyrdom of St. Publius. Also of interest, are the titular statue of St. Publius dating back to 1811 and various ceiling paintings depicting instances from the shipwreck of St. Paul and his stay on the island.

The Mall Gardens The Mall, a garden of around 400 metres in length was constructed by Grand Master Lascaris in 1656 as a place for recreation for the Knights, where these used to play a ball game called Maglio. The garden used to be totally enclosed by a wall, which was removed after the war as it was also extensively damaged. Here one can find a number of monuments commemorating prominent personalities in the Islands' political and social history.

Independence Monument This bronze statue commemorates the Independence of Malta from the British Empire, which took place on the 21st September, It is found in front of the entrance of the Mall gardens. This monument was erected in 1989.

Christ the King Monument This area is known as 'Biskuttin' where one finds a monument by renowned Maltese artist Antonio Sciortino depicting Christ the King, erected to commemorate the International Eucharistic Congress of 1913.

Wignacourt Fountain At one end of the Mall lies the Wignacourt fountain, erected to commemorate the arrival of the water supply to Floriana in Nowadays it provides a fresh drink to horses on their way to Valletta with their karrozzin, the traditional Maltese horse-drawn carriage.

Argotti Botanical Gardens Next to Wignacourt's fountain are the Argotti Gardens. In 1774, a palace was built on the site of the garden, which today houses a herbarium, and now serves as an important botanical garden for the University of Malta. Other parts of this garden contain medicinal plants, fruit trees and various other plants.

St. Philips Garden Just below Argotti gardens, one finds this quiet, peaceful and charming garden which offers a break from the urban life of Floriana. It is located on top of the bastions, thus offering a splendid view of the surrounding cities.

The Methodist Church Next to Argotti gardens is a Methodist church built in Neo-Gothic style which was completed in Today this building houses cultural events. This church lies next to a building which was erected in as a place for recreation for the British services. This building has today been converted to an old people's home and is also known as the 'Connaught Home', named after H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught who laid the first stone.

Sarria Church Just opposite the Argotti gardens is a church dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. This chapes replaced a previous one built in 1585 by the Knight Fra Martin de Sarria Navarro, and houses important paintings by Mattia Preti. The church was rebuilt by Architect Lorenzo Gafa'.

The Archbishops Curia Another majestic building in Floriana is that which houses the Archbishop's Curia. Completed in 1751, it has also served as Malta' first seminary.
