More Information

This is a historic, public space named after Captain Sir Alexander Ball, the first British Civil Commissioner of Malta. Originally built with permission from King George III, this garden is one of a series of such gardens commissioned between 1802 and 1808, and was planted with trees, vines, and herbs to promote local self-sufficiency. Its main feature is the vine-covered trellises along central pathways. Captain Ball, who admired these gardens, frequently visited, with the Ħal Safi garden being one of his favourites. Today, it offers a peaceful retreat for both locals and visitors.
