The Malta Society of Arts wraps up restoration works on Palazzo de La Salle’s 18th-century hall, the Sala dei Cavalieri
A general view of the restored hall.
Valletta is full of reminders of Malta’s incredible past and most of its buildings have a story that sheds light on the city’s importance throughout history. Palazzo de La Salle is one such building.
Situated just a few metres down from The Grandmaster’s Palace, the palazzo has been the seat of the Malta Society of Arts (MSA) since 1923 and is home to the Sala dei Cavalieri. This magnificent hall has recently been restored to its former glory, a process which was carried out during the pandemic. Keith Sciberras, head of the University of Malta’s Department of Art and Art History, was the director of the project.
