Auberge de Castille, Valletta, Malta: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa 1930, showcases the grandeur of Auberge de Castille in Valletta, Malta. Originally designed in the 16th century, this architectural marvel was built to house the esteemed knights of the Order of Saint John. The Order, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, was a medieval Christian military and hospitaller order, famed for its role in the Crusades. The Auberge de Castille, with its rich history, underwent a major reconstruction in the 1740s, adopting the opulent Baroque style that is so characteristic of Maltese architecture. The intricate details of the building's facade, with its ornate balconies, grand arches, and decorative motifs, are a testament to the architectural prowess of the era. As you gaze at this image, you can almost hear the echoes of history reverberating through the stone walls. The Auberge de Castille, now the official office of the Prime Minister of Malta, stands as a proud reminder of the island nation's rich past. The building's grandeur and historical significance continue to captivate visitors, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the cultural treasures of Valletta. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a unique perspective of Auberge de Castille, allowing us to appreciate its timeless beauty and historical significance.
