Palazzo Correa, Mannerist palace in Old Bakery Street, Valletta, Malta
The Palazzo Correa exhibited strong Mannerist architectural elements with a facade similar to the Manoel Theatre in Valletta's historic center.
Architect Carlo Gimach designed this residence in 1689 for Fra Antonio Correa de Sousa, and Grand Master Ferdinand von Hompesch later occupied it from 1787 to 1798.
The palace served as residence for John Hookham Frere and his wife Elizabeth, who took in an orphan named Statyra Livedestro from Turkey during religious conflicts.
German aerial bombardment in 1942 destroyed the palace during World War II, and the site now houses St Albert the Great College.
French minister General Vial resided in the palace during the Peace of Amiens period between 1802 and 1803, marking its diplomatic significance.
