San Anton Gardens, Public garden in Attard, Malta.
San Anton Gardens cover several acres in Attard and feature paved walkways, diverse plant species, ornamental fountains, classical sculptures, shaded benches, and well-maintained flower beds for visitors to explore.
Grand Master Antoine de Paule established the gardens in the 17th century as ornamental grounds for his summer residence, which later became the official residence of Malta's president.
The gardens represent baroque landscape design and serve as a cultural heritage site hosting community events, attracting locals and tourists who appreciate Malta's historical horticultural traditions and outdoor spaces.
Located at 7 St. George's in Attard, the gardens open daily from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM between June and September, and until 5:00 PM from October through May, with free admission.
Visitors frequently encounter peacocks wandering freely throughout the grounds, and some of the garden's trees are over three hundred years old, having been brought from distant parts of the world.
