Villa Bonici, Baroque villa in Sliema, Malta.
The limestone villa features multiple arches throughout its structure and contains terraced gardens that originally extended toward the Mediterranean Sea.
Built in 1872 by Marquis Emanuel Testaferrata Bonici Ghaxaq, the property served as a countryside residence during Malta's period of British administration.
The villa transformed into St Louis School until 1969, where students attended classes and spent their breaks in the garden spaces.
Located on Manuel Dimech Street, the villa received Grade 2 protection status from the Malta Environment and Planning Authority in 2010.
The property operated as one of Malta's first outdoor cinema venues, with film screenings taking place in the garden area.
