Step into the extraordinary world of the Grand Master’s Palace, a historic landmark that has witnessed centuries of power, diplomacy, and transformation in Malta.

Located in the heart of Valletta, the palace was among the first buildings constructed in the new capital by the Knights of St John during the late 16th century. Over the centuries, it became the residence of Malta’s rulers.

Learn about the Great Siege of 1565, when the Knights of St John and the Maltese population defended the island against the Ottoman Empire. Through the remarkable paintings of Matteo Perez d’Aleccio, discover the dramatic events that helped shape Malta’s identity.
