The Bishop’s Palace and Curia, Episcopal palace in Vittoriosa, Malta.
The Bishop's Palace features extensive stone walls, large windows, and multiple chambers spread across different levels of the historic building complex.
The palace functioned as the main residence for Maltese bishops from its acquisition in 1542 until their relocation to Valletta in 1620.
The palace incorporates ecclesiastical court chambers where religious matters were addressed and decisions about the Catholic community were made.
The palace stands near St Lawrence Church in central Vittoriosa, with access through the narrow medieval streets of the former capital.
The building contained specific prison cells designed for clergy members who needed correction according to religious regulations.
