Beskrivning

Discover the magnificent Grand Master’s Palace in Valletta, one of Malta’s most important historic landmarks. Step inside the former residence of the Grand Masters of the Knights of St John.
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.

Continue to the Palace Armoury, home to an extraordinary collection of historic weapons and armour. Admire the impressive suits of armour associated with Grand Masters Jean de Valette and Alof de Wignacourt, alongside weapons used by the Knights and their Ottoman adversaries.

As you explore, your audio guide reveals the stories behind the palace’s architecture, artworks, historic collections, and powerful residents.

Discover how the building evolved through the French and British periods, and how it became a symbol of Malta’s political and national identity.
