Girgenti Palace, Presidential residence in Siggiewi, Malta
The palace features a rectilinear layout with plain facades and multiple rooms arranged systematically across the historic structure near the southern coast.
Built in 1625 by Inquisitor Onorto Visconti on confiscated land, the palace served as the summer residence for Malta's Inquisitors until 1798.
The Grade 1 heritage structure includes a chapel dedicated to San Carlo Borromeo from 1763, representing significant religious and architectural elements.
Following extensive renovations between 1988 and 1990, the palace now functions as the official residence of the President of Malta.
The palace stands on land formerly owned by Matteo Falzon, who faced conviction from the Inquisition and became known in local history.
