Palazzo Ferreria, Venetian Gothic palace in Valletta, Malta.
The Palazzo Ferreria stands near the entrance of Valletta, featuring ornate timber balconies and detailed architectural elements across its grand facade.
Built in 1876 on the former site of a Knights of Malta foundry, the palace was constructed for the Buttigieg family and later transferred to Colonel John Louis Francia.
The palace displays the merged architectural influences of Venetian Gothic style with traditional Maltese elements, particularly visible in its decorated balconies and arched windows.
The ground floor of Palazzo Ferreria contains retail establishments, while the upper levels house government offices accessible during regular business hours.
The palace ranks as the second largest structure in Valletta after the Grandmaster's Palace and features the coat of arms of both Buttigieg and Camilleri families.
