The Noon Gun Tradition
Keep an eye on the time! Don't be startled by the sound of history as you witness a daily ceremonial tribute that has echoed across the harbour for centuries.
Every day at noon (and again at 16:00), the Saluting Battery at Upper Barrakka Gardens fires a ceremonial cannon. It’s a historic tradition once used to signal the time to mariners, and it’s a perfect photo opportunity from the panoramic gardens above.
