Jerma Palace Hotel

The Jerma Palace Hotel, once a prominent four-star establishment in Marsaskala, Malta, opened in 1982 as a Libyan investment and was the largest hotel in southern Malta until its closure in 2007. Originally managed by Corinthia Hotels International, it played a significant role in transforming Marsaskala from a fishing village into a resort destination. However, the hotel has since fallen into disrepair, becoming a site of dereliction and illegal activities. Various redevelopment plans have been proposed over the years, including luxury apartments and hotels, but many have faced opposition and legal challenges. The site remains a point of interest for tourists and researchers alike, not only for its history but also for its ongoing transformation and cultural references, such as its appearance in a Eurovision music video.
