The Department of Information in Malta recently delighted history enthusiasts by sharing a throwback video showcasing the Mediterranean Conference Centre's (MCC) rich past.

Officially established in 1979, the MCC stands as a testament to Malta's architectural evolution and cultural heritage. The video highlights the extensive transformation and renovation that the building underwent, transitioning from its historic origins to the magnificent structure it is today.

A key feature of the MCC, prominently featured in the video, is the impressive ‘Great Ward’ hall. This awe-inspiring space, measuring a remarkable 155 meters in length, underscores the architectural grandeur and historical significance of the building.

Originally serving as a hospital for the Knights of St. John, the MCC has evolved into a premier venue for conferences, cultural events, and exhibitions.

The throwback video serves as a nostalgic journey through time, offering a glimpse into the meticulous restoration efforts that preserved the building's unique character while modernising its facilities.

The MCC's blend of historical charm and modern functionality continues to make it a cherished landmark in Malta. This video not only celebrates the building’s heritage but also invites the public to appreciate the remarkable transformation it has undergone over the decades.
