Inquisitor's Palace
The Inquisitor's Palace, located in Birgu, Malta, is a fascinating site that once served as the headquarters of the Maltese Inquisition from 1574 until 1798. Initially constructed in the early 16th century as a courthouse, it has undergone significant changes over the years, which have transformed its original structure. A visit here is worth your time not only for its historical significance but also for the intriguing atmosphere that surrounds this majestic building. One memorable aspect is its dual identity as both a symbol of justice and a place of ecclesiastical authority.
