Triton Fountain

The Triton Fountain is a prominent landmark located at the entrance to Valletta, near the City Gate. Designed in the 1950s, it features three bronze Tritons holding a massive basin and is a symbol of Maltese modernist art. The fountain is a central gathering spot and a photogenic highlight for visitors arriving in the capital city.

The Triton Fountain, designed by Maltese sculptor Vincent Apap and Victor Anastasi in the 1950s, underwent a major restoration in 2017 to preserve its original design while enhancing its functionality as a vibrant public space. The fountain represents three bronze Tritons, figures from Greek mythology symbolizing the power of the sea, holding up a large basin. At night, it is illuminated with colorful lights, creating a captivating visual experience for visitors. The plaza around the fountain often hosts events, and its open design makes it a central hub for pedestrians and travelers accessing Valletta by bus or car, with the nearby main bus terminal providing convenient connections.
