About

The Gran Priorato di Roma, housed at Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta, 4 on Rome’s Aventine Hill, is a historic institutional seat of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. With origins dating back to a 10th‑century Benedictine monastery, the palazzo has been the site of the Grand Priory of Rome, its embassy, and thousands of charitable activities. Visitors can explore the magnificent gardens that overlook the Tiber, admire the Neo‑Romanesque campanile of San Anselmo, and witness the most famous keyhole (“Il Buco Della Serratura”) that offers a framed view of St. Peter’s Basilica. The complex also hosts a range of medical, spiritual and humanitarian missions, making it a unique cultural and philanthropic landmark in the heart of Rome.
