Spinola Palace, Baroque palace in Valletta, Malta
Spinola Palace features three stories with an ornate facade and a notable clock on its exterior, located near Republic Street in central Valletta.
Built in 1688 by Fra Paolo Raffaele Spinola, the palace underwent modifications in 1733 under architect Romano Fortunato Carapecchia's direction.
Italian artist Nicolau Nasoni created ceiling frescoes in the 1720s, adding artistic elements to the palace's interior decoration program.
The building currently serves as the headquarters of Lombard Bank, occupying two preserved wings along Republic Street and St Frederick Street.
The palace clock lost its decorative crown during the French occupation of Malta in 1798, symbolizing the Knights' expulsion from the island.
