About
Casa Rocca Piccola is a 16th‑century palatial museum located in the heart of Valletta. The privately owned de Piro family has preserved over 50 rooms, a beautifully restored garden, and a dramatic World War II bomb shelter that bears witness to Malta’s turbulent history. Guided tours are offered daily from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm, with last admission at 4:00 pm, and visitors can also explore the B&B, a café, and an Italian restaurant nestled within the historic halls. The museum offers a unique blend of Baroque architecture, fine art, and personal artefacts that bring Malta’s aristocratic past to life for all ages.
