Welcome
to Casa Rocca Piccola, Home of The 9th Marquis and Marchioness de
Piro
I
hope you enjoy looking at the images of Casa Rocca Piccola and the
various attractions it contains. Casa Rocca Piccola is still privately
owned and is a much loved family home. The value of Casa
Rocca Piccola lies in its ability to provide unique historical evidence
into the customs and traditions of the Maltese nobility over the
last 400 years. You can also see a collection of furniture, silver
and paintings that add to the aesthetic riches of this country.
Casa Rocca Piccola contains over 50 rooms, the majority of which
are open for viewing. Over the last few years a Museum of Costume
has been opened in the property and also the World War II Air Raid
Shelters have provided a dramatic and exciting addition to the tours
of the house. This has all been made possible from the contributions
that come in from the thousands of tourists who come to Malta and
Valletta every year. On January 2nd 2003 following an extensive restoration
program a further 4 stately rooms were added to the guided tours.
To fully appreciate what Casa Rocca Piccola has to offer, you have
to visit. I hope that this website will give a small hint of what
to expect.
