Hastings Gardens

Hastings Garden is a small, attractive city garden set on the bastions of Valletta with views of Manoel Island and Msida Creek. The garden also houses a monument built by the Hastings family dedicated to Francis, Marquis of Hastings, who was a governor of Malta.

Lord Hastings was Viceroy of India until his appointment to Malta in 1824. In 1827, he died in a ship en route to Naples and his body was returned for burial in this garden.
