[2025 Valletta Attraction] Travel Guide for Saluting Battery (Updated May)

One of the most popular attractions in Malta is the saluting battery in the capital, Valletta. It fires two rounds each day, with one at noon and the other at 4pm. It is an interesting reminder of the extensive history this small island nation has! The origins of this site go back approximately 500 years when the Ottoman empire attempted to invade. It is an interesting site to visit and highly recommended! #malta #europe

The Vallatta Saluting Battery has an incredible military history dating from the 16th century. Due to its prominent and strategic location overlooking Fort Saint Elmo and the Grand Harbour. This prestigious location meant that right from the beginning the battery was used also for ceremonial cannon firings. Noon-day firings became a daily occurrence from 1824 and continued uninterrupted until November 1923. #celebrateit #malta #mediterranean #military
