Auberge d'Allemagne

The Auberge d'Allemagne is a historic mansion with two stories featuring Maltese-style staircases and decorative plasterwork. The original structure was later integrated into a modern four-story residential complex and now serves as apartment buildings.

The building was constructed in the 16th century and housed German knights of the Order of Saint John until their relocation to Valletta in the 1570s. This move marked the end of the structure's original function as a residence for the order's knights.

The building displays Maltese architectural features with local design elements visible in its facade. These characteristics reflect the traditional construction methods that were common on the islands during this period.

The building is located on Victory Square and is now organized as a residential complex with apartments. Since it is an occupied residential building, visitors can view the facade and external features from the street.

A stone marker inscribed with the letter 'C' stands in front of the building and marks the entrance to the Collachio, the historic knights' quarter. This small symbol remains a visible reminder of how the city was once organized under the Order's rule.
