Saluting Battery Wedding Photography, Valletta | Alyssa & Rob
The Saluting Battery is arguably the best wedding venue with a view in Malta—offering an unmatched panorama of the Grand Harbour and beyond.
I still remember my first trip to Malta years ago, visiting my then-girlfriend. I traveled all the way from Budapest by train, then crossed from Sicily by ferry. As I approached Valletta and the Grand Harbour at dusk, the scene before me was unforgettable—the Three Cities on the left, Valletta on the right, bathed in golden lights. It was one of the most breathtaking arrivals in a new country I’ve ever experienced.
Nestled within Upper Barrakka Gardens, a beautiful public park overlooking the harbour, sits the Saluting Battery—the very spot where Alyssa and Rob exchanged their vows in an intimate wedding ceremony. With such an incredible view, it’s easy to see why couples choose this iconic location for their big day.
After the ceremony, the three of us wandered through Valletta, a city built in the 16th century, unique for its grid-like street plan. Unlike other cities in Malta, you can stand at one end and see straight to the other—a testament to its precise design. Walking through its narrow limestone streets, surrounded by centuries of history, always feels magical.
We wrapped up the session at the tip of the peninsula, capturing one last set of portraits against the timeless backdrop of Valletta. Truly, this city is a picture-perfect place for weddings.
