Robert Sammut Hall, Gothic Revival church building in Floriana, Malta.
Robert Sammut Hall is a church building in Neo-Gothic style in Floriana, Malta, featuring pointed arches and ribbed vaults throughout its interior. A two-manual pneumatic Willis organ dominates the main space, while a basement level called Lamplough Hall provides additional room for events.
The building was constructed between 1881 and 1883 by architect Thomas Mullet Ellis as a Methodist chapel and initially served religious purposes. In 1970 it was transferred to government ownership and repurposed as a cultural venue.
The hall is named after Robert Sammut, who composed Malta's national anthem, and serves today as a venue for local performances. Its spaces host concerts and cultural events that reflect the musical heritage of the island.
Visitors will find a well-maintained interior with a functional organ that is used during concert events. The two levels allow for flexible space use depending on the type of event being held.
The building was the first in Malta to install electric lighting using incandescent bulbs, marking a technological milestone. This early electrification was a remarkable innovation for a church of that era.
