KURŻITAJIET

Floriana Gates

Further down this area one finds the Archbishop’s curia, formerly the seminary. Infront of this building there is the Police General Headquarters, originally intended to be Malta’s General Hospital.

Back to the vicinity of the Argotti gardens there is another garden known as il-Mall, built by Grand Master Lascaris in 1656 for the recreation of the knights who played a ball game known as il maglio. During the times of Sir Alexander Ball, trees and flowers were planted, and the garden was open to the public. After the Second World War the wall surrounding this garden was pulled down, giving a better view of the garden. In this place we find various monuments commemorating prominent Maltese personalities such as Prof. Luigi Preziosi and Sir Filippo Sciberras.

In this area we also find the granaries dating back to the times of the Order. Because of road construction and the erection of new buildings, some of these granaries were filled up. Today the remaining ones are still in use. Nearby we find the War Memorials and the onededicated to Air Force pilots who died during the war.A beautiful monument commemorating the 1913 Eucharistic Congress is found in this area, in King Edward VII Avenue, better known as “il-Biskuttin” (infront of Hotel Phoenicia). This artistic statue known as Christ the King is the work of the Maltese artist Antonio Sciortino

A fine building used to house the Methodist church and the nearby Connaught House, erected as a club and meeting place for servicemen, is found in this area. These buildings stand near Sarria Chapel which recently underwent restoration.
