Floriana is located just outside the capital city of Malta, Valletta, and is over looked by many visitors. The origins of Floriana date back to 1634 when Grandmaster de Paule, sensing another attack by the Ottoman Turks, brought over an Italian engineer, Pietro Paolo Floriani, who built further fortifications in the town. And this is from where Floriana gets its name.
Floriana was meant to be a suburb of Valletta, but it developed to be a town on its own. It covers an area of 133 acres, The town offers a rich history with a number of historic buildings, churches, gardens and monuments that shed a light on the Maltese history.

Excellent video, top man steve. Floriana is my most popular place in Malta. Stayed to the end, what a beautiful grand harbour. Yes to heritage trail. Thanks you so much.

‘What a grand harbour’ Steve 😂. I didn’t realise that Floriana had so much to it. We will make sure we make time to walk around it. Last year we just skirted past the Granaries when Lewis Capaldi was singing in the evening. It was nice hearing the musicians rehearsing as we passed by and all the young people coming into Valletta afterwards when it had finished. There was quite a fun atmosphere. It would be great if you could do the historical trail if you have the time Steve. We would appreciate any pointers. Thanks for the video. It’s a good one 💕

My father was in the air force and we lived in Malta for 3 years I actually went to a convent school (Mt Carmel convent school) in Floriana when I was young. (1964-66) I returned in 1986 and the nuns let me look round. I beleive the convent is still there, but the school has moved. I would love the heritage video too. Thanks for your time doing these.
