Set in the outskirts of Haz-Zebbug, the historic Palazzo is described as a magnificent example of the late Baroque typology of grand residences owned by the Maltese nobility. Built in the mid-18th century, it continued to serve as a patrician residence right-up to the end of the 20th Century. The elaborate complex consists of the grand palazzo and its imposing gardens of different sizes, dotted with mature trees.
The palazzo, is built on two floors, has an imposing central doorway flanked by service rooms on either side of the ground floor. The main residence of the family was in the expansive high-ceiling halls of the piano nobile on the first floor. Unique to the palace was the incorporation in its ground floor of a private theatre for the literary and musical entertainment of the residents and their guests. This is an extraordinary feature that still contains much of its original wall paintings and decorative elements.Also unique to the property is a private chapel, the Chapel of Our Lady of Forsaken Souls, which is included in the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese islands and enjoys Grade 1 protection. The villa within the grounds is scheduled at Grade 2. The finesse and sophistication of the entire complex is also found in the detailing, such as the decorative stone carvings and wrought iron work.
