Gardens History
The gardens of Argotti, San Filippu, the Mall, Sa Maison and tal-Milorda, all located in Floriana, are historic gardens that were set up between the 1600 – 1800s.
These gardens are of great historic wealth and botanic interest, due to the diverse plant species that were planted in the gardens over time, the presence of ancient trees and the presence of historic and architectural treasures, including numerous fountains. The gardens are also of military interest since they are located along military bastions that form the Floriana lines or else glacis.

Five species of Dasilyrion – narrow leaved spiny perrenials, from Mexico, as well as a pink flowering tree, Ceiba speciosa from South America and Cassia eremophila a yellow flowering shrub from Australia were added to the species collection.
