Directions

From Floriana, walk through Valletta’s City Gate and continue to Merchants Street.

Palazzo Parisio is a historic palace on Merchants Street in Valletta, near Floriana. Its best-documented historical association is with Napoleon Bonaparte: a marble plaque on the building records that he lived here for seven days in June 1798 while commanding an army of the French Republic. The inscription gives passersby a tangible reminder of Malta’s brief French period and connects this city-centre building to events far beyond its walls. Even if you only see the exterior, the plaque makes the palace a worthwhile stop for anyone tracing the island’s history. Be careful not to confuse this address with the separate Palazzo Parisio in Naxxar; the Merchants Street building is the one associated with Napoleon’s stay.

Before you enter

  • Check whether interior access is available; no opening hours are listed in the supplied information.
  • Save the Merchants Street address so you do not confuse it with Palazzo Parisio in Naxxar.
  • Wear comfortable shoes for the walk from Floriana into Valletta.

What to expect

  • Look for the marble plaque describing Napoleon’s seven-day stay in June 1798.
  • The documented point of interest is the palace’s exterior and its historical inscription.
  • The building stands on Merchants Street in Valletta, despite its listing under Floriana.

During your visit

  • Read the plaque before moving on; it explains the building’s connection to Napoleon.
  • Keep the pavement clear while stopping to view or photograph the façade.
  • If the building is closed, you can still locate the plaque from the street.
