Palaces

Ta' Kaspru Palace

Ta’ Kaspru PalaceA building which belonged to some wealthy family of past times. It features a strong architectural style, an element which could offer some form of protection from past foreign incursions especially from Muslim corsairs.
 
It is thought that this palace was built around the year 1621 basing this assumption on the date featured on a side door of this building. One can also see the letters ‘IHS’ on this same entrance, these being the first three Greek letters for ‘JESUS’.
 
Some alterations have taken place over the years as is evident from a close look at the building. ‘Ta’ Kaspru’ Palace is today in a built-up area and has become part of the urban environment. Yet in the past it surely commanded a more imposing sight as much of the land around it was made up of fields with Ta’ Kaspru in the midst.
