The
16th century old Casa Rocca Piccola palace is situated in
Valletta, the capital of Malta. This prestigious palace was built by
St. John. History of the palace says, that St. John had off the Turks
combating valiantly with their archaic and stubborn rival. St. John
won the battle for his brave knights.
After
an impressing victory against the obstinate Turks in 1565, St. John
wanted to build a city whose grace would be either equal or surpass
the beauty of the prestigious European cities like Venice and Paris.
So, he had build countless imposing palaces and buildings in every
street. Compelling palaces were reinforced with the strong bastion
walls.
Casa
Rocca Picola palace is one of the two masterpieces which was very
graceful and attractive also. This is the only palace, which was
embellished with a garden in front of it. But it was prohibited to
keep a garden in front of the houses in Malta.
The
Palace is well-equipped with a number of inter-connected rooms,
kitchens and stables on the first floor. It has fifty rooms, drawing
rooms, two libraries, two dining halls and a chapel. All the rooms
are well-furnished with comfortable furniture and a great many
fascinating paintings.
It

and corners of the world arrive in Valletta. Rental car is one of the
likeable option that the tourists prefer the most. Visitors rent luxury cars at very affordable prices in Valletta car rentals and rock the city.
