Archbishop's Palace, Valletta, Episcopal residence in Archbishop Street, Valletta, Malta
The Archbishop's Palace features a symmetrical facade with Ionic columns, pilasters, and a central portal topped by a stone figure representing Faith.
Construction of the palace began in 1622 under Bishop Baldassare Cagliares, with architect Tumas Dingli designing the structure that was completed in 1631.
The palace served as both the residence of Malta's Archbishop and the administrative center for the Diocese, housing important church archives until the 1970s.
The building now functions as the Judicial Tribunal of the Archdiocese and opens to visitors during specific events throughout the year.
The palace contains underground water cisterns and maintains one of Valletta's few private gardens, complete with citrus trees and a 17th-century fountain.
