Situated at the entrance to the Silent City of Mdina, Vilhena Palace occupies a prominent position in the historic heart of Malta. Reconstructed in 1726 by Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena to designs by Charles François de Mondion, the 18th-century palace replaced the former medieval University building that once stood on the site, and today remains a striking example of Baroque civic architecture.
The palace’s majestic front courtyard, framed by its Parisian Baroque façade, provides an exquisite setting for summer weddings and distinguished events, offering a refined mise-en-scène imbued with historic elegance and timeless appeal.
