Our Offices

Our offices are situated in the heart of the capital of Malta, Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which owes its existence to the Knights of St John. It is also an ideal location as the country’s major governmental institutions are also within walking distance. St Paul Street (in Maltese Triq San Pawl or, colloquially, Strada San Paolo) takes its name from the Collegiate church of St Paul’s Shipwreck, one of the most important churches in Valletta. The church boasts a magnificent altar-piece of the shipwreck by Matteo Perez d’Aleccio, paintings by Attilio Palombi and works of some of the best Maltese artists like Francesco Zahra, Giuseppe Cali’ and Emvin Cremona. St Paul Street is also famous for the traditional procession with the statue of St Paul (carved in wood in the 17th century by Maltese sculptor Melchiorre Gafa’) which is carried through the principal streets of Valletta every February 10th.

Our offices can be found on the third floor of a 17th century palazzo. The palazzo was occupied as a place of residence for about two centuries and, as a casa-bottega (a tenement used both for residential and commercial purposes), by Chev. Antonio Theuma who carried out his business as a general government contractor and importer from the premises. Other important landmarks in St Paul Street include the offices of the European Commission and the European Parliament, the Valletta Campus of the University of Malta (housed in the Old University Building dating back to the founding of the university in 1592).
