Inquisitor's Palace

A truly fascinating place to visit in Birgu! The Inquisitor’s Palace is so well preserved and gives a real sense of Maltese history, with layers of stories from the Inquisition to more recent times. The rooms are beautifully presented with lots of detail, and you can really imagine what life would have been like here. The dungeons and courtroom were especially interesting. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the museum is very well laid out. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the Three Cities – it’s one of the highlights of the area!

We were the last ones there the day we visited. It is a very unsettling place, for sure, but the history - as with any country - is important. I highly suggest the visit. I experienced many emotions walking through each room, and when I left I was more angry than anything else. It was a visit I would not repeat, but I am glad I went and learned something about the history, culture, and men of the time.

It's not a bad experience. I've been to a good few places here that are museum and historical like and I would definitely recommend them over this location (lascaris war rooms, St Elmo etc. ) This place is more reading of history and historical time lines compared to others. You should finish the tour of the place within an hour if you take your time. There are 2 different routes about halfway through: a short route and a long route. The short route skips about 20/25 minutes of rooms and some history. Nothing really interactive here either which is a bit of a let down.

We bought a combined ticket at the fort that included two attractions. The palace was especially impressive – some rooms even gave me chills, but overall it was a fascinating experience and definitely worth a visit.

It's a very interesting museum with so many armors! For me it was fascinating!

Really interesting, a different place to visit from the usual museums!

An insightful and cool look into an important and unique piece of Christian history. This museum allows you to see how the inquisitors and their subjects lived and worked as well as influenced the society and country. It’s not as big as one might think and an hour is more than enough to go through the whole thing.

One of the best places we visited in Malta. The place is in great condition and filled with a lot of interesting information and facts. I definitely recommend taking the time to read the info in every room, as it brings the spirit to the exhibit. Special recommendation for the screen with info about every inquisitor (many interesting and funny stories can be found about each of them).
