Casa Rocca Piccola - free

This small palazzo, built in 1850, is a window to Maltese domestic culture of yesteryear.  The costumes collection displays a variety of period ball and wedding gowns, uniforms and court dresses.  Two Second World War bomb shelters are situated below the Palazzo.  The public bomb shelter, inside a large mediaeval well, was used to celebrate mass on Sundays.  The private bomb shelter was excavated for the exclusive use of the residents of Casa Rocca.

Grand Masters Palace

A grand and beautiful building, it is today the seat of the President and Parliament of the Republic of Malta.  The Armory housed in two halls of the Magisterial Palace and contains some fine examples of mediaeval amour and weapons used by the Knights of St. John and their adversaries.

Valletta Waterfront

The Valletta Waterfront Project is aimed at regenerating the Grand Harbour waterfront into a cruise and ferry passenger terminal which stretches about one kilometre along Pinto Wharf on the northern shore of the harbour. The next phase involves the re-excavation and restoration of the original seawalls built by the Knights of St. John and the creation of a water plaza in between the warehouses and the existing quay. The plans also include the creation of new transport links from the harbour using water taxis/buses and a cable car system.  The port services available include bunkering, emergency ship repair facilities, chandelling and other husbandry services, on a 24-hour, 365 days a year basis. This will give the island a new state-of-the art facility that fits sympathetically into the unspoilt historic setting of the walled city of Valletta.
