Carmelite Priory is a seventeenth-century Baroque building in which the Carmelite monastery still operates. After a thorough renovation, the monastery became the only facility of this type in Malta that is open to the public. Guided tours are organized so that they do not interfere with the daily life of the assembly.
You can visit virtually all rooms, including the Chapter Hall and the monastery refectory, in which two eighteenth-century kitchens with equipment were recreated. We will also find here the image of Saint. Cecylia, whose author is Mattia Preti. Visitors can learn about the functions of the rooms they visit, receive information about the monastery's rule, its history and the life of modern Carmelites.
A great experience for believers can be a visit to the cell of priest Avertan Fenech (1871-1943), a member of the Carmelite congregation, who was considered a man called to holiness during his lifetime. He is currently undergoing his beatification process.
