Main Guard (Valletta)

The Main Guard, originally built in 1603 as a guardhouse for the Grand Master of the Order of St. John, is a historic building located in St George's Square, Valletta, Malta. It features a Neoclassical portico added in 1814 during British rule, making it a symbol of that era. The building has served various purposes, including housing the Attorney General's office and later becoming a cultural center. Currently under restoration by Heritage Malta, it is set to become an interpretation center for the city's heritage sites, making it a significant stop for tourists and researchers interested in Malta's rich history.
