Palazzo Parisio is located in the heart of
Naxxar, just opposite the church. Palazzo Parisio
was built in the 19th century by Marquis Giuseppe
Scicluna as his own private residence, with
lavish artistic designs, decorated ceilings and
murals, rare objects dart, refined architecture
and charming gardens. The Ballroom of Mirrors has
an elaborate and lively style, making it an ideal
location for weddings and other important

gardens in Malta that are open to visitors. They
have a classic baroque style that combines
symmetry and Mediterranean flowers all year long.

Construction stone was quarried on site, creating
an enormous excavated space that, tied to various
wells in the area, was turned into a gigantic
reservoir extending sight unseen under the
gardens. An intricate irrigation system was
installed during Marquis Giuseppes renovation of
the palazzo.
