Malta faced a turning-point in its architectural history when the Knights of St John occupied the islands in 1530. For the first time ever, European building styles were introduced on a grand scale in Malta. With the help of Italian engineers and architects, the Order of St. John founded today's capital Valletta in 1566 and built the impressive fortifications around the Grand Harbour. When the economy recovered at the end of the 17th century, Malta enjoyed a second building boom with architects like Charles Francois de Mondion and Romano Carapecchia being brought over to update the plain Mannerist style to the more ornate Baroque style

Palazzo Parisio is located in the heart of Naxxar, just opposite the church. Palazzo Parisio was built in the 19th century by Marquis Giuseppe Scicluna as his own private residence, with lavish artistic designs, decorated ceilings and murals, rare objects d’art, refined architecture and charming gardens. The Ballroom of Mirrors has an elaborate and lively style, making it an ideal location for weddings and other important events.The splendid gardens are the only private gardens in Malta that are open to visitors. They have a classic baroque style that combines symmetry and Mediterranean flowers all year long.

Going up the staircase one will notice the longest piece of single marble coping in Malta. There is an amusing story related to this piece of marble. The first time it was shipwrecked between Italy and Malta, the second, as it was being carried up the stairs was dropped and it broke in half, third time lucky the British artillery were called in to insure the transport with the help of forty mules!
