The Armoury at the Governor's Palace in Valletta, Malta: An 1876 Glimpse into the Ancient Palace of the Knights of Malta This photograph, taken in 1876, offers a glimpse into the ancient and historic Governor's Palace in Valletta, Malta. The palace, which served as the official residence of the British Governors of Malta, is situated atop a hilly ridge in the heart of the town. Spanning over a square area of 250 ft, the palace is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Malta. One of the most intriguing attractions within the palace is the Armoury, a 250 ft long room filled with an impressive collection of old weapons and armor. The Armoury's vast expanse houses suits of armor that have stood the test of time, each piece telling a story of the past. The room's dark, somber atmosphere adds to the allure of the ancient relics, making it an essential stop for history buffs and curious travelers alike. The palace's interior boasts several other noteworthy features, including a long ballroom, drawing-room, and various saloons, all furnished in the antique style. The Council Chamber, adorned with fine Gobelins tapestry, and the picture galleries are also popular attractions, offering visitors a glimpse into the grandeur of the past. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for the Illustrated London News, provides a fascinating window into the past, inviting us to explore the historic and cultural treasures of the Governor's Palace in Valletta, Malta.
