Auberge d'Aragon, Mannerist auberge in Valletta, Malta
The rectangular Auberge d'Aragon features a central courtyard, Doric portico entrance, and three moulded windows on its stone facade on Archbishop Street.
Built in 1571 under architect Girolamo Cassar, the building provided accommodation for Knights from Aragon, Catalonia, and Navarre during the Order of Saint John period.
The structure maintains its original Mannerist architectural design, making it a reference point for 16th-century Maltese construction techniques and military order housing.
The Ministry for Justice occupies the building, which underwent restoration works in 2019 revealing historical underground sections previously used as stables and bakery.
Among the eight original auberges in Valletta, this building stands as the only one that preserved its initial 16th-century architectural characteristics without major modifications.
