About Triton Fountain

The bronze Triton Fountain, built in 1959 by Vincent Apap, stands in the big roundabout plaza between Valletta's City Gate and Floriana. In World War Z, aerial shots of 'Jerusalem' falling to the zombie hordes sweep over it. It's now in a pedestrian plaza by the bus terminus, so you'll walk past it on your way into Valletta.

Best time to go

Evening, when the fountain is lit.
