2009 MALTA SILVER Euro Coin - La Castellania - Silver Proof

Palazzo Castellania, shown above, is located in Merchants' Street in the Maltese capital of Valletta. Works started on the designs of the Maltese architect Francesco Zerafa in 1748. It replaced an earlier building and housed the Civil and Criminal Courts. Zerafa died in 1758 and Giusseppe Bonnici was called in to complete the building, which he did by 1760. The building's centerpiece shows stone figures of Justice and Truth. The building used to serve as the Law Courts during the time of the Portuguese Grand Masters and today houses the Ministry for Health, Elderly and Community Care.
