Msida Bastion Cemetery, Protestant cemetery in Floriana, Malta
The Msida Bastion Cemetery extends across 5,344 square meters, featuring 782 graves built with Maltese Globigerina Limestone blocks and hydraulic lime plaster.
Established in 1806 following British control of Malta, the cemetery served as burial grounds until 1856 when the Ta' Braxia cemetery opened.
The graves contain remains of British military personnel, merchants, and civilians from various nationalities, including Russian, German, Italian, Swiss, and American citizens.
The cemetery opens Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from 09:30 to 12:00, with admission costing 2 euros for adults and free for children under 12.
Twenty-five volunteers maintain the gardens, which house 120 plant species and a Museum of Maltese Burial Practices in a former Officers' Stable building.
