Streets squares and districts to visit Valletta

In addition to the inn of the same name, the Prime Minister's office and the Cavalier Saint-Jacques (a sort of large tower), you'll see the statue of Borg Olivier, who led Malta to independence and was its Prime Minister. Opposite the Auberge de Castille stands the statue of Manwell Dimech and, next door, that of Paul Boffa, who was Prime Minister after the war and gave women the right to vote in 1945. And a new, more contemporary work, in scrap metal colors, has come to occupy the Place de Castille, this being a sculpture commemorating the November 2015 migration summit.

It was first called Piazza del Tesoro , Treasure Square, since the treasure of the Order of St. John was located in this square, and then Queen's Square, after the installation in the 19th century of a statue of Queen Victoria. Today it is overrun by the shady terrace of the Caffè Cordina, installed in the 18th century building that served as the treasury of the Order of St. John and whose vaulted ceilings are decorated with frescoes by Giuseppe Cali. Here you can have a drink in the shade of the statue of Queen Victoria.
