Visitors wander through glittering rooms filled with gilded helmets, suits of armour, swords, early muskets, and ceremonial gear spanning the 16th to the 18th centuries, complemented by ornate banners and period interiors. It’s worth visiting for history lovers and architecture buffs alike: the well-lit displays, informative captions, and guided tours reveal how the knights trained, fought, and governed, making Malta's grand past tangible.
