Hostel de Verdelin, Baroque palace in Valletta, Malta
The Hostel de Verdelin features two floors with decorated windows, stone balconies, and Spanish Baroque architectural elements incorporated into its grand facade design.
Built in the 1650s for Knight Jean-Jacques de Verdelin, the palace later transformed into one of Malta's first hotels during the British period.
The structure represents Francesco Buonamici's architectural influence in Malta, introducing Spanish Baroque elements that differed from prevalent Italian and French styles.
The building currently houses both a police station and Gracy's restaurant, making it accessible to visitors interested in its architectural features.
The palace maintains its original facade design from the Antiquities List of 1925, with twelve private owners currently sharing ownership of this Grade 1 monument.
