Casa Rocca Piccola is a 16th-century aristocratic palace in Birgu that has been home to the same noble family for generations. Visitors can tour lavishly furnished rooms, including a dining room, library, and chapel, which showcase the lifestyle of Maltese nobility. A highlight is the underground WWII air-raid shelter, complete with original supplies and graffiti, offering a poignant contrast to the opulent upper floors. The palace also features a beautiful courtyard garden and a collection of family portraits and artifacts.
