Casa Rocca Piccola, 74 Republic Street,
Casa Rocca Piccola is a 16th century palace and living museum. Built over 400 years ago for Don Pietro La Rocca, a Knight of Malta, it is now the ancestral home of the de Piro family, a Maltese Noble family. The palace contains over 50 rooms, many of which are open for viewing. The house is furnished with collections of furniture, silver and paintings from Malta and Europe. There are literally hundreds of magnificent objects to see including modern paintings interspersed with the ancestral portraits of the Marquises de Piro and the Barons of Budach. Under Casa Rocca Piccola a network of tunnels were cut out from the rock and used in World War II as air raid shelters. Over 100 people sheltered here from the bombs that poured on Valletta. Live guided tours in English (pre-booking recommended) or audio self-tours in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish are included with your entrance ticket. Restrooms, a bookshop and La Giara restaurant are available on site.
