The Mediterranean Conference Centre is a historic building in Valletta originally built as a hospital for the Knights of St John in the 16th century. Its grand halls, including the magnificent Teatru Manoel-style chamber, now host international conferences, concerts, and cultural events. The building's architecture blends Renaissance and Baroque elements, with a long, vaulted ward that once held hundreds of patients. Visitors can attend performances or explore the venue during events, experiencing its rich history as a place of healing and now of gathering.
