Palazzo Capua, Neoclassical palace in Sliema, Malta
The grand facade of Palazzo Capua features classical columns and ornate architectural details that exemplify 19th-century neoclassical design principles.
Originally constructed as Selma Hall by a Russian banker, the palace later belonged to Prince Carlo de Borbon of Capua and his wife Penelope Caroline Smyth.
The building represents the adaptation of historical architecture, transforming from a noble residence into a modern boutique hotel while preserving its neoclassical character.
The palace now functions as both a luxury accommodation venue and home to BSC Malta College, offering educational facilities in central Sliema.
Each of the five suites within Palazzo Capua bears the name of a previous owner, connecting present-day guests with the building's rich past.
