Auberge de Castille, Spanish Baroque auberge in Valletta, Malta
The Auberge de Castille stands at the highest point of Valletta with a rectangular structure and features a central courtyard surrounded by decorated corridors.
Architect Girolamo Cassar constructed the building in 1574 to serve as headquarters for the Knights of Castile, Leon, and Portugal from the Order of Saint John.
The building incorporates elements of Spanish Baroque architecture, displaying intricate stone carvings, symmetrical patterns, and ornate decorative details across its facade.
The Auberge de Castille currently functions as the office of Malta's Prime Minister and remains accessible for exterior viewing throughout the year.
Located near Saint James Cavalier, this Grade 1 monument offers views toward Floriana and Grand Harbor from its elevated position in Castille Place.
