Large square located along the slope that leads to Forte S.Elmo.
Piazza San Giorgio can be considered the heart of the city: it is in fact located right in the center and is surrounded by numerous buildings, both ancient and modern, which make it a pleasant and suitable space for a break.
The square is home to numerous institutional buildings: the presidential palace, the Main Guard and the Chancellery of the Order overlook it.
It's a shame that the fountains located in the center of the square were not in operation, both from a scenographic point of view and for refreshment on a sultry autumn day.

It can be reached along Republic Street, the main road of Valletta. Its most prominent building is the palace of the grandmasters, presently under renovation. The June 7/19 monument is also located in the square. It was always quiet and with few pedestrians when I passed through, a chance to get away from the buzz along most of Republic Street.

Great place to sit, relax and people watch. The fountains in the floor provide endless entertainment. As a Brit I find it most amusing that although Malta has gained its independence, they have chosen to keep the Royal Warrant at the top of the portico in the main square. I guess it's all part of their pride in having been awarded The George Cross?

St George's Square is the largest and most important square in Valletta. Here overlooks the Palace of the Grand Master and on the other side the building of the Grand Guard (facade under restoration when we passed) with two fountains on the sides and a modern one in the center. Almost deserted under the sun apart from the kids playing.

We were passing this square at leat two times a day due to the location of our hotel. It has nothing interesting to show. A very cold, dark and full of garbage place. Its a shame for such city and area not to be well preserved

St. George square - the square in front of the Palace of the Grand Master ... sooner or latter you get here when you walk the city of Valletta.
Now - in July 2023 it was free of crowds - now since the Grand Masters Palace was closed for visitor due to work of reconditioning - that can explain the lack of tourist.
The square is surrounded by historical buildings and has in one corner the monument dedicated to those fallen on the 7th of June 1919... and and if you walk around paying attention to the details you will spot more interesting decorations and architectural features in the square.
Overall a nice spot to take some pictures while you walk the city and definitely worthy of a few pictures.

A very attractive public square with cobblestone streets, with the very important Grandmaster Palace to the south and plenty of monuments. Many of the buildings surrounding the square are of late Renaissance and early Baroque designs, so it’s very interesting to see the transition between the two periods. The rest of the square and many of the surrounding streets are full of cafes and restaurants.

This is the place to start your tour of Valletta. A great photo opportunity around every corner so don't forget those selfies.

Pouvez vous me dire quels jour et à quelle heure on peut voir la relève de la garde à La Valette?
