Heritage Malta have another gift for you to unwrap on Boxing Day! 

but its curious facade sculptures, splendid courtyard and luxurious interiors are sure to entertain and make you feel like royalty for a day!

On Tuesday 26th December, they will be opening the Grand Master’s Palace to visitors for a refreshed peek at its regained splendour under our professionals’ expert hands.

It will welcome the public from 10am until 6pm, and all proceeds and donations collected during the event will be directed to the Malta Community Chest Fund.

Visitors will have a chance to stride with delight along the iconic corridors lined with armoured knights, as they let themselves be transported along the Palace’s rich history by joining one of the animated tours, taking place at 10:15am in Maltese and in English at 11:45am.

All throughout the day, the Grand Master’s Palace will be well guarded with the alive and kicking soldiers of the Inguardia Parade as well, who will display their skills with various shows.

One can also take the chance to take a trip back in time to the winding streets with humble rocky dwellings, flickering lanterns and garigue landscape of the millenia-old nativity story at the exhibition ‘The Crib’s Journey with St Francis’, currently exhibited in one of the Palace’s halls.

Top off the day at the Orangerie, where the decadent tastes of traditional seasonal sweets and beverages are assured to delight your senses.

The President’s Office will also be accessible to the public during this event.

An admission donation of €2 will be requested at the door, and donation boxes will also be available for anyone feeling like going the extra mile in this season for giving.
