San Anton Gardens

San Anton Gardens in Attard is a large planted park with pathways, ponds, and fountains featuring ornamental plants from different regions. Visitors walk through leafy areas and along routes that connect different water features and planted sections.

A Grand Master established these gardens in the 1880s as part of a summer residence. The site later became an important government building for Malta.

The gardens display Mediterranean plant culture through collections that reflect how people in this region have traditionally cultivated their land. Ancient trees and local herbs show the gardening knowledge passed down through generations.

The gardens open early in the morning and close in the late afternoon, with times varying by season. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as you will walk through different areas and planted sections.

Duck families live in the ponds while peacocks roam freely among the tall evergreen trees. These loose birds often surprise visitors as they walk through the grounds.
