Full description

Casa Rocca Piccola is a 16th century palace and living museum. Built over 400 years ago for Don Pietro La Rocca, a Knight of Malta, it is now the ancestral home of the de Piro family, a Maltese Noble family.

The palace contains over 50 rooms, many of which are open for viewing. You can see a collection of furniture, silver and paintings that add to the aesthetic riches of Malta. There are literally hundreds of magnificent objects to see including modern paintings interspersed with the ancestral portraits of the Marquises de Piro and the Barons of Budach.

You will learn all about the unique customs and traditions of the Maltese nobility.

Under Casa Rocca Piccola you will find a network of tunnels cut out from the rock and used in World War II as air raid shelters. Over 100 people sheltered here from the bombs that poured on Valletta. The palace's air raid shelters provide a dramatic and exciting addition to the tours of the house and garden.

45 minute live guided tours in English are available every hour, on the hour - pre-booking is recommended.

Took the audio tour using the app. It was set up nicely and easy to use. The palace was stunning, especially the summer dining room. My favourite part was meeting Kiku The 3rd (parrot) in the garden. Also the bomb shelters were impressive.
