The Knights of Malta

The Knights of Malta is an audio-visual show about the history of the Knights of St John, held in the historic Sacra Infermeria (Holy Infirmary) at the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta. The show uses large-screen projection and multilingual narration to tell the story of the Knights — from their origins as a medieval military order to their 268-year rule of Malta, the Great Siege of 1565, and their eventual expulsion by Napoleon.

The show is housed in the same building as The Malta Experience and complements it with a more focused look at the Knights' period of Maltese history. The Sacra Infermeria itself is a remarkable historic space — the Knights' hospital, whose vast vaulted halls are among the longest historic interiors in Europe. Check the official website for current show times, as the schedule can vary by season.
