Don’t Miss Attractions
Summer Dining Room
This Art Nouveau dining room often takes visitors by surprise. Originally it was just an open terrace overlooking the garden but was covered over to create a stunning addition to Casa Rocca Piccola in the early 20th Century.
Portrait of Monica de Piro
Monica was the daughter of the 7th Baron de Piro and was painted here by Arthur Acton in the 1930’s. She is showing off her style and charisma which so attracted the Marchese Bartolini Salimbeni who commissioned this portrait.
Golden Sedan Chair
The Sedan Chair is one of the treasures of Casa Rocca Piccola and was made for Frà Victor Nicolas de Vachon Belmont, a French Knight of Malta and Captain General of the Galleys. It is the finest and flashiest sedan chair in Malta and was an extremely spectacular way to get around Valletta.
Bomb Shelters
The largest of our 3 Bomb Shelters could fit 100 people in it. Cut out from solid rock these underground shelters are an exciting finale to a visit to Casa Rocca Piccola.
