Joseph Cachia & Son Ltd (JCS) have been entrusted to take part in the Grand Master’s Palace’s restoration, in conjunction with UK’s DesignMap team to reinstate the historic Armoury in its original hall (the former Parliament Chamber).
Showcasing the opulence of the Order of St. John – fierce defender of the Catholic faith against the attacks of the Ottoman Empire – the Armoury collection is considered as one of the best in the world and boasts the armour suits of Grand Masters Alof de Wignacourt and Jean de Valette, Ottoman armour and weapons, as well as a selection of artillery pieces.
The Grand Master’s Palace is the most visited site in Heritage Malta’s portfolio, welcoming around 300,000 visitors each year.
