Malta's Architectural Heritage

Valletta’s architectural landscape is defined by the legacy of the Order of St. John, showcasing a transition from Mannerist to high Baroque styles. This collection features landmark structures such as St. John's Co-Cathedral, renowned for its ornate gold-leaf interior and Caravaggio masterpieces, and the Grandmaster's Palace, the historic seat of government. Other highlights include the elaborate facade of the Auberge de Castille and the National Museum of Archaeology, housed in the 16th-century Auberge de Provence, reflecting the city’s 16th and 18th-century grandeur.
