Palazzo Falson, Mdina, Malta - SpottingHistory.com

The splendid Palazzo Falson, which is one of the oldest surviving homes in Malta, built in the 13th century, has a dazzling and extensive private collection on display, including furniture, watches, silver, jewellery, oriental rugs, paintings, armoury and books.

The Palazzo is named after its 16th century owner Vice Admiral Michele Falsone, although the amazing collection was brought together by researcher, philanthropist and artist Captain Olof Gollcher (1889-1962), who bought the Palazzo in 1927.

After your visit, be sure to have a break at the palazzo’s splendid rooftop café, which commands a panoramic view of Malta, the open sea and the prominent dome of the nearby Mdina Cathedral.

One of the best attractions in Mdina! Beautifully restored character house with bags of history, easily accessible to all (possibly not young children). Great audio guide included in the price of admission. Friendly informed staff. Great cafe on the roof top at the end of your tour. Highly recommended; make it a 'must see' on your tour of Mdina.

Ticket: 10 eur Nice small/mid size museum in Mdina You can have the audio guide at the entrance. It is included in the price and highly recommended. The palace is well maintained and really full of interesting pieces. Visit takes about an hour or less.

Actually the best spot we visited in Mdina. Well maintained, COVID measures perfectly in place, very friendly personnel. Audio guide is available and precise, not too lengthy, but to the point and nicely composed with music in background. Don't forget to visit also the Gustav café on top to relax

Château d'Olhain

The Château d'Olhain is probably the most famous castle of the Artois region. It is located in the middle of a lake which reflects its picturesque towers and curtain walls. It was also a major stronghold for the Artois in medieval times and testimony to the power of the Olhain family, first mentioned from the 12th century.

The existence of the castle was known early in the 13th century, but the present construction is largely the work of Jean de Nielles, who married Marie d’Olhain at the end of the 15th century.

The marriage of Alix Nielles to Jean de Berghes, Grand Veneur de France (master of hounds) to the King, meant the castle passed to this family, who kept it for more than 450 years. Once confiscated by Charles Quint, it suffered during the wars that ravaged the Artois. Besieged in 1641 by the French, it was partly demolished by the Spaniards in 1654, and finally blown-up and taken by the Dutch in 1710. Restored in 1830, it was abandoned after 1870, and sold by the last Prince of Berghes in 1900. There is also evidence that one of the castles occupants was related to Charles de Batz-Castelmore d'Artagnan, the person Alexandre Dumas based his Three Musketeers charictor d'Artagnan on.

During the World War I and World War II, the castle was requisitioned first by French troops, then Canadian and British soldiers. The current owner has restored the castle to its former glory.
