If you go there at noon or 4 p.m. (except Sundays), you can observe a cannon fired from the salute battery below. The cannons were traditionally used to protect the harbor from naval assaults, but later became a way to signal the exact time to ship captains, allowing them to recalibrate the chronographs on board. It is an alternative and fascinating experience for those in Valletta, offering a glimpse of the city's maritime history.

🇮🇹 Se ci vai a mezzogiorno o alle 16 (tranne la domenica), potrai osservare un cannone sparato dalla batteria di saluto sottostante. I cannoni venivano tradizionalmente utilizzati per proteggere il porto dagli assalti navali, ma in seguito divennero un modo per segnalare l'ora esatta ai capitani delle navi, consentendo loro di ricalibrare i cronografi a bordo. È un'esperienza alternativa e affascinante per chi si trova a La Valletta, offrendo un assaggio della storia marittima della città. Il costo è di 3 Euro
