Monte di Pietà, Baroque palace in Valletta, Malta
The Monte di Pietà features three floors with a main entrance decorated by a molded cornice and pediment in traditional baroque design.
Founded in 1598 by Fra Manuel de Couros with 2000 scudi, this institution provided loans to people using precious items as collateral.
The palace represents a period when financial institutions focused on supporting local communities through minimal interest loans and charitable services.
Located at coordinates 35.89761, 14.51361 in Merchant Street, the building now operates as part of the Inland Revenue Department.
The institution merged with Monte della Redenzione degli Schiavi in 1787, combining financial services with efforts to free Christian slaves.
