San Anton Palace
Located in Attard, this site is the official residence of the President of Malta. Originally constructed in the early 17th century as a villa for a knight, it was later expanded into a palace. Visitors go here to see the historical architecture and the extensive gardens that surround the residence.

The palace is accessible from the center of Mosta via local bus services or taxi. The journey typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
