Auberge de Bavière, 17th-century palace in Valletta, Malta
The Auberge de Bavière displays a symmetrical facade with corner pilasters, a central doorway, and an open stone balcony on its second level.
Built in 1696 by Fra Gaspare Carniero, the structure served as residence for Grand Master Marc'Antonio Zondadari before becoming headquarters of the Anglo-Bavarian Knights in 1784.
The palace represents the final expression of mannerist architecture in Malta before the widespread adoption of baroque architectural elements in the region.
The Auberge de Bavière currently houses the main offices of the Lands Authority, including the Director General's Office and multiple administrative directorates.
During World War I, the building operated as a military hospital with 155 beds, later transforming into a shelter for citizens who lost their homes in World War II.
