Be careful of traffic

Not far from the main bus terminal this historic reminder of past wars stands out. It is quite a normal design for such memorials but still worth a look if you're in the area.

Not the best location

Situated in the middle of the roundabout ..... Very clean and tidy and looked after. There are lots of monuments around Valletta and Floriana and the the history buff, follow the route map and enjoy a walk around the city.

Good

If you are taking one of those hop-on-hop-off buses, then there is no way you are going to miss this place. Though, I don´t find it a must visit place.
