Palazzo Correa, Mannerist palace in Old Bakery Street, Valletta, Malta
Palazzo Correa is a mannerist palace located on Old Bakery Street in central Valletta. The building features a facade typical of the period, with details that reflect the architectural style of its era.
Carlo Gimach designed the palazzo in 1689 for Fra Antonio Correa de Sousa as an important residence. Grand Master Ferdinand von Hompesch later occupied the building, reinforcing its status as a significant address.
The palace hosted influential residents from diplomatic and political circles over centuries. Its residents shaped connections between Malta and Europe through their social and official roles.
The original palace no longer stands on its site due to wartime destruction. The location now houses a college, so visitors cannot access the interior of the historical building.
French General Vial stayed at the palace during the Peace of Amiens negotiations between 1802 and 1803. This brief period made it an unexpected diplomatic hub during a critical moment in European politics.
