The Armoury (Grand Master's Palace) - Malta

 The Armoury is located on the ground floor at the rear, near Neptune's Court. It contains one of the finest collections of weaponry in Europe.


 The Palace Armoury is one of the world’s largest collections of arms and armour that is still housed in its original building. The Knights of St John were a unique brotherhood of resolute warrior monks.



 From Malta, their island stronghold, these combatant aristocrats from the noblest houses of Europe, carried out their relentless crusade against the Ottoman Turks in defence of the Catholic faith.












 
The Palace Armoury is definitely one of the most visible and tangible symbols of the past glories of the Sovereign Hospitaller Military Order of Malta.
