The palace was erected as the civil law courts of the Order of St John between 1530s and 1571 then became the inquisitor’s residence from 1574 until 1798. The Inquisitor’s Palace is now the "flagship" of Maltese Ethnography.

It also illustrates the global nature of seafaring and its impact on society from July 1992. The museum houses numerous artefacts highlighting different epochs, shaping Maltese seafaring trough paint, charts, evidence and sea technology evolution. So it shows Malta’s maritime history from prehistory to the present day.
Malta Stock Exchange
The Malta Stock Exchange (Borża ta' Malta in Maltese) is a small but active stock exchange based in Malta's capital, Valletta. It oversees the trading of a handful of important stocks and is the marketplace for Malta's bond market. The Exchange began operation in 1992. It has, for the past ten years, been the regulator of the local capital market. During this period the Exchange has sought to perform this duty to the best of its abilities but the time has now come to review the matter.

It served the eastern Mediterranean in the 19th and 20th centuries and, in conjunction with the RN Memorial Hospital at Imtarfa, contributed to the nursing and medical care of casualties whenever hostilities occurred in the Mediterranean.
Our Lady of Victories Parish Church
Our Lady of Victories Parish Church is the parish church of Senglea, Malta. It is dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, and was most probably built by architect Vittorio Cassar in 1580 as a monument to the Christian Victory after the Great Siege of 1565. Senglea became a parish in 1581, and was consecrated on 20 October 1743. On 21 May 1786, Pope Pius VI declared the church to be a "collegiata insignis", while in 1921, Pope Benedict XV honoured the church with the title of Basilica.

When the Order of Saint John first settled in Malta in 1530, all of their langues were based in Birgu, so the Church of Saint Laurence was used as the Order's first Conventual Church in Malta.
