The Malta Conference Center, also known as the Mediterranean Conference Centre (MCC), is a historical and modern marvel nestled in the heart of Valletta, overlooking the stunning Grand Harbour. Originally constructed as the “Sacra Infermeria” by the Knights of St. John in the 16th century, this architectural gem served as one of Europe’s leading hospitals, renowned for its advanced medical treatments for knights and sailors. The Great Ward, one of the longest halls in Europe at the time, highlights the Order’s commitment to healthcare and hospitality.
In the late 20th century, the building was transformed into a conference centre, seamlessly blending its rich history with modern amenities. The MCC offers state-of-the-art facilities for international meetings, conferences, and cultural events, including a main auditorium, various conference rooms, and elegant banqueting halls. The venue’s unique setting, combining advanced audio-visual technology with historical charm, makes it an exceptional location for diverse events. Visitors to the MCC not only enjoy a modern event space but also experience a journey through Malta’s storied past.
