点评:Located just off St George’s Square and Republic Square, the entrance to the Grand Master’s Palace faces the square and requires passing through airport-style security.
We had pre-booked our tickets via online through heritage Malta( probably beneficial in summer) , though this offered no real advantage in November, as there were no queues. Tickets can be purchased at both electronic kiosks and staffed counters. After scanning our tickets, we entered the exhibition area, beginning with a short introductory video highlighting the significance of the building.
The first few rooms provide context on the palace’s history and its evolving role over the centuries. From there, visitors move through Prince Alfred’s Courtyard and into the Armoury which was extensive and had some interesting artifacts such as the ottoman soldiers outfits,
This is followed by a series of beautifully restored rooms — including the French Room and the grand corridors, reminiscent of the Vatican with their ornate decoration and intricate detail.
The visit concludes with a display of the old royal chariot and an art exhibition featuring works by prominent Maltese artists, including Falzon, the current artist-in-residence at The Phoenicia.
Overall, it’s an excellent way to spend a few hours immersed in Malta’s rich history and heritage.

我们提前通过马耳他遗产局网站预订了门票(夏季可能比较方便),不过11月份并没有太大优势,因为无需排队。门票可以在电子售票亭和人工售票处购买。扫描门票后,我们进入了展览区,首先观看了一段简短的介绍视频,重点介绍了这座建筑的重要性。
前几个展厅介绍了宫殿的历史及其几个世纪以来的演变。之后,参观者穿过阿尔弗雷德王子庭院,来到规模宏大的军械库,其中陈列着一些有趣的文物,例如奥斯曼士兵的服装。
接下来是一系列修复精美的房间,包括法式厅和宏伟的走廊,其华丽的装饰和精细的细节令人联想起梵蒂冈。
参观行程的最后一站是欣赏古老的皇家战车,以及观看马耳他著名艺术家的作品展,其中包括菲尼西亚酒店现任驻场艺术家法尔宗的作品。
总而言之,这是一次绝佳的体验,让您在几个小时内沉浸于马耳他丰富的历史和文化遗产之中。
