Palazzo Parisio is a stately home with a history, architecture and interior unique in Malta. The house owes its splendour to the Marquis Giuseppe Scicluna, whose vision and passion in the late 1890s inspired its magnificent interior. Described as a miniature Versailles, this opulent house is a showcase of Maltese craftsmanship at the turn of the 19th century. It houses the most ornate ballroom on the Islands, lavishly-decorated ceilings and frescoes, magnificent antique furniture, paintings and bronzes. Its gardens originally stretched for half a mile, and today are still an impressive example of classic, baroque formality. The Palazzo has been carefully restored by the family and is open to the public.
