EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1920s, showcases the stunning Auberge de Castille in the heart of Valletta, Malta's enchanting capital city. The Auberge de Castille, also known as the Grandmaster's Palace, is a remarkable architectural masterpiece that has stood the test of time, reflecting the rich history and cultural heritage of this Mediterranean island nation. The Auberge de Castille, built between 1574 and 1577, served as the official residence of the Grand Masters of the Order of St. John, a powerful military and religious organization that ruled Malta for over 265 years. The palace's ornate facade, adorned with intricate stone carvings and coats of arms, is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the Knights' reign. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the echoes of history, as the sounds of clanking armor and horse hooves fill the air, transporting you back to a time when knights roamed the streets of Valletta, protecting the island from invaders and upholding the values of chivalry and honor. The Auberge de Castille now serves as the Office of the President of Malta and the seat of Parliament, making it a symbol of the country's political and historical significance. This photograph offers a glimpse into Malta's past, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of a bygone era, while also highlighting the resilience and enduring spirit of this remarkable island nation.
