TA'KENUNA TOWER AND BOTANICAL GARDEN
Read moreThis tower was built in 1848 by the British for the telegraph line between the two islands. Restored and now boasting a futuristic silhouette, it sometimes hosts art exhibitions. A small garden has been laid out here, where you can discover endemic and indigenous plant species amid attractive stone walls. From the garden, the view over the south of the island, Comino and Malta is superb.
RUNDLE GARDENS
Read moreWhen the sun is shining, they are a good stopover. Closed in 2009 for renovation, they were reopened in 2012 after an extensive rehabilitation plan, partly financed by European funds. Advantage: they are gardens in bloom all year round thanks to plants imported from several European countries. At the bend in the paths, small monuments and plaques, recalling the island's events, pay homage to local personalities. Twice a year (July 18 and August 15), horse, mule and donkey races are held here.
