A poignant tribute to the countless Maltese lives lost in the world wars.


A solemn reminder of Malta's fight for self-governance, commemorating the 1919 riots.
Erected to honor the victims of the Sette Giugno riots on June 7, 1919, this monument is an essential stop for anyone interested in Malta's journey to independence. The riots, driven by public unrest over food shortages and political disenfranchisement, led to critical constitutional reforms. The monument, situated in St. George's Square, captures the significance of this turning point in Maltese history. Visiting this site offers a moment of reflection on the sacrifices made for the freedoms enjoyed today.
