Casa Rocca Piccola is a 16th-century palazzo in Valletta, still owned by the noble de Piro family. Visitors tour lavishly furnished rooms filled with family heirlooms, paintings, and silver. A highlight is the network of underground World War II air-raid shelters, carved into the rock, which provided refuge during bombings. The house offers a rare glimpse into the private life of Maltese aristocracy, with personal stories from the family's history. The rooftop terrace provides panoramic views of Valletta's skyline.

Don't miss

  • Tour the WWII air-raid shelters deep beneath the palazzo.
  • See the family's collection of antique furniture and silver.
