Described as the heart of the Capital, St George’s Square is Valletta’s largest and most prominent square. Dating back to the 17th century, it has witnessed some of the most notable occasions in the Island’s history including royal visits, victory celebrations and even the presentation of the George Cross in 1942.

The theatre received a direct hit from aerial bombing in 1942 during World War II. Prior to its destruction, it was one of the most beautiful and iconic buildings in Valletta. After several abandoned plans to rebuild the theatre, the ruins were redesigned by the Italian architect Renzo Piano and in 2013 it once again started functioning as a performance venue, called Pjazza Teatru Rjal.
