Casa Rocca Piccola

If you want to see something a little different when visiting Valletta here you will find what you want. Often described as a "living museum", it is the only privately owned mansion open to the public in the city. Built over 400 years ago, it is now the ancestral home of a noble Maltese family. On your tour you will see interesting things like the 18th century golden Sedan chair which was carried to Valletta by Turkish slaves. There are literally hundreds of cool things out there, including recent paintings and interspersed ancestral paintings. You'll also see a network of tunnels cut between the rocks under the building, which were used as fire shelters in World War II. Where it accommodated more than 100 people to take shelter from the Nazi bombs pouring into Valletta.
