About Grand Master's Palace

The stern exterior of the 16th-century Grand Master's Palace covers a luxurious interior. This was once the home of the Grand Masters of the Knights of St. John. From Malta's independence until 2015, the house was the seat of Malta's parliament before it moved into the new Parliament Building. The Armoury is in the former Grand Master's stables.

 Some of the most impressive pieces are the breastplate worn by la Valette, the beautifully damascened suit made for Alof de Wignacourt, the seized Turkish Sipahi armor, and strengthened armor with bullet marks. There are also displays of some beautiful weapons, including crossbows, guns, and pistols.
