Please note that the Palace State Rooms will be closed to the general public from the 1st of February 2020 and until further notice. This closure is necessary in view of the extensive restoration project currently underway at the Grand Master’s Palace. Works will not affect accessibility to the Palace ARMOURY, which will remain open daily.
Visited the Grandmasters palace on a Sunday whilst on holidays in Malta. It’s one of the few tourist sites that is available to see on a Sunday and I took myself off into Valletta for the day. Spent the morning in The Grandmaster’s Palace - it’s currently the official residence of the President of Malta though was previously the former residence of the British Governor and before that the Grandmaster of the Order. The palace consists of large rooms with high ceilings where state functions have taken place in the past and quite possibly still do (the old throne room is where the President accepts foreign ambassadors). As has no doubt been mentioned before, it’s a self tour with an audio handset so you can take your own time on the tour which I prefer. The highlight at the end of the tour is the armoury which contains dozens of suits of armour used by the knights and equally a large number of weapons used by the knights (swords, muskets, cannons) which show how armour and weapons changed during that period. All in all an excellent place to visit and a great illustration of the history of this remarkable island.

Renzo Piano did an excellent job! Valletta added one one more great attraction for tourists. Modern and adapted at the environment at the same time.
