The Palace of Grand Master Spinola ! and other Saint Julian's, Malta Things to Do Tips

This Palace is situated opposite the playground just opposite Portomaso. This Palace was once the summer residence of the Grand Master Spinola. I was told that all the surrounding roads, that is, where there is HSBC, Portomaso, Wembley Taxi Service till mid- Paceville all belonged to him. Infact, around the whole palace his gardens where divided into sections by straight walls which were richly decorated. He used to use his gardens as a hunting lodge.

Another thing I go to know is that the Grand Master had access to the sea from one of his back doors that is, in the past there was a tunnel that led down to the sea. Today this tunnel I guess still exsists but there are restaurants built. I always imagined that the tunnel would be somewhere close to Bouzouki restuarant or somehwere at the edge of the sea in Spinola Bay where he would keep a little boat.
