Up
one of the ancient steps in Cospicua one comes to a
large unimposing doorway, otherwise unnoticed by any
distraught passer-by, through which one can penetrate
an age long foregone. It is the doorway to a dainty
sixteenth-century lodge which belonged to a Knight Hospiteller.
This building is more ancient than anything else in
Cospicua.
At first sight the tapered facade of meagre features
betrays what lies within. Beyond the portal,
in fact, one encounters the scrupulous mastery of ancient
stonemasons, and the fascinating
improvisation of age-old architects, working on the
charming mellowness of local stone.
Moreover, through this unique and precious dwelling,
you may glimpse into the mysterious
world of sixteenth-century obsolete lifestyles.
This expertly converted lodge can be used for launches,
small conferences, staff workshops, art exhibitions
and standing receptions. One may also consider longer
ventures, such as office spaces, developing a catering
establishment or a fine boutique shop. The building
is close to the Cospicua's main road leading to Vittoriosa,
opposite Dock No. 1. Words cannot describe the
beauty of this Knight's lodge. Contact us to visit this
unique sixteenth century gem and discuss its endless
possibilites for your occasion.
