Courts of Justice building, Neoclassical courthouse in Republic Street, Valletta, Malta
The Courts of Justice building extends over seven floors, featuring a prominent portico with six columns and three levels below street grade.
The building stands on the former site of Auberge d'Auvergne, a 16th-century structure damaged by German bombing in 1941 during World War II.
The courthouse represents Malta's commitment to maintaining a structured legal system through its position as the central judicial institution of the country.
The facility houses the Civil Courts Registry, Court Archives, police detention area, and parking facilities to support daily legal proceedings.
The first legal case in this building occurred on January 11, 1971, two days after its official inauguration by Prime Minister George Borg Olivier.
