Palazzo Ferreria

Palazzo Ferreria

Located near the entrance to Valletta, this late 19th-century palace is a designated national monument. It is primarily visited by those interested in architecture, as the building blends Italianate design elements with traditional Maltese wooden balconies.

Getting There

The palace is situated at the edge of Valletta. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk or a brief bus ride, typically taking less than 10 minutes depending on your starting point.

Time Allotment

Since the attraction is primarily appreciated for its exterior architecture and historical facade, allow approximately 30 to 60 minutes to view the building and the surrounding area.

When to Visit

Daylight hours are recommended to clearly see the architectural details of the facade. Like many sites near the entrance to the capital, the area can become crowded during peak tourist seasons and midday hours.

  • Royal Opera House (0.1km)
  • Our Lady of Victory Church (0.1km)
