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!

Oh, the good old days! This museum throws a nostalgic look over the 200 years of Inquisition, so if you are in support of torture to get people to the "true" faith, you are AGAINST freedom of speech, you support religion running politics, then this one is for you! The building and decor is what you would expect, but the glorified view of those times, the justification of the use of torture (" only to obtain the truth"), I haven't seen anywhere else in Europe. Heritage foundation might want to ask itself: What is this museum's teaching message?

Amazing place 😍 A true and authentic way to take a glimpce into the history . In June there are no crowd's and you can privatly enjoy and use your imagination how people were thinking and acting back days . A moment of apreciation to democracy and free religion 🥰

Great museum. It’s not very big but very interesting. You can learn a lot about inquisition, prisoners and inquisitors themselves

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 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.

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.

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).
