Start your Valletta tour at one of the most impressive monuments in the area, the City Gate. Designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano, it is actually the fifth edition of the gate standing at the entrance to the city. The first one was built back in the 17th century, however, rebuilt after numerous destructions, the landmark as we see it now was only completed in 2014. The City Gate is located in between the St. James' and St. John's Bastions and surrounded by the City Walls, comprising a truly significant ensemble in the city.
