Sunken Garden, Villa Frere

Villa Frere is on the Pieta waterfront in Malta. In the 1820s it was owned by John Hookham Frere and his wife. They converted the slopes behind the villa into a fine Neoclassical English landscape garden. After much restoration work by 'The Friends of Villa Frere' much of the garden has been restored or re-imagined into a pleasant set of intimate spaces. This area is known as the 'Sunken garden'.
