Auberge de France, Grade 1 auberge in Vittoriosa, Malta.
The two-story Auberge de France stands near the harbor with a symmetrical facade and large rectangular windows adorned with decorative stone carvings.
Built around 1533, this structure served as the residence for French knights of the Order of Saint John until their relocation to Valletta in 1571.
The building displays the integration of French and Maltese architectural elements through its ornate portal, stone balconies, and traditional limestone construction.
Located in Il Collachio district, the auberge now functions as Birgu's city hall and administrative center for the local council.
The building underwent multiple transformations throughout its history, serving as a school, furniture factory, political museum, and carpenter's workshop.
