The pinnacle of Baroque art: St. John's Co-Cathedral, where 400 slabs of knights' tombs are inlaid on the ground and authentic works of Caravaggio are housed.
Gun Salute Ceremony: The 12 noon salute at Upper Barrakka Gardens continues the 16th century coastal defense timekeeping tradition and offers a panoramic view of the Grand Harbour.
