ARMOURY PALACE

Built in the 17th century, it was used as an arsenal during the time of the Knights of Malta. After being sold to Saverio Verario Crispo in 1784, it was later passed on to the Zimmermann Barbaro family. It is said that Napoleon Bonaparte, who was visiting the village of Zurrieq, stayed there one night. During the Second World War, it was used as a parking place for the British armed forces and then passed to Count Chapel Paleologo after the war. The building is now a private residence.
