Set in a 17th century Baroque building the Carmelite Church and Priory has undergone important and significant restoration, to finally open its doors to the viewing public.

This hidden gem, offers the public an opportunity to explore the way and life of the cloistered Carmelite friars in the 17th century. Among a number of rooms to explore, the quarters include a beautifully frescoed refectory. A courtyard breathes light onto the Maltese stonework of the surrounding cloisters, which connect the priory to the church.  The Carmelite Church and Priory boast of impressive paintings, sculpture and architecture.

The Carmelite Priory also holds a series of stimulating events planned in its cultural calendar relating to spirituality, art, literature and music. You may also treat yourself to a light lunch and tea at the Old Priory Café. Furthermore we also cater for clubs or groups offering special packages combining museum visit with a nice light lunch from a wide variety of menus or light snacks at our Cafeteria. Finally one can spoil friends with a choice of Maltese artisan products including the Savina brand found at the gift shop.
