Palazzo 318 is a new independent art gallery on St Paul Street, one of the long streets that run through the heart of Valletta. It presents contemporary and fine art in a historic setting and aims to be a place for dialogue, reflection and engagement with art that values process, material and meaning.
On VisitMalta.co.uk the gallery is listed among our art galleries in Malta. For a wider picture of the city around it, our Valletta guide is the natural companion to this page.
An independent gallery in the capital
The gallery's focus is on work with clarity, intent and substance. Its programme brings together emerging and established artists, and its stated ambition is to contribute to the evolving artistic landscape of Valletta while keeping a clear and considered approach to exhibition-making. The approach leans towards art grounded in craft and material, and towards a blend of tradition and contemporary experimentation.
Three values guide the work: passion, expression and impulse. The gallery sees itself as more than an exhibition space, a gathering place where artists and art collectors meet, and it wants to foster the future of art as well as preserving the past. Valletta's history as the Knights' city, told in our Knights of Malta guide, gives that ambition a fitting backdrop.
What to expect when it opens
Palazzo 318 is preparing its inaugural programme, with exhibitions, artist collaborations and events due to launch. It will open with a focused series of exhibitions that reflect its commitment to quality and careful curation, and details of the opening exhibition and launch event are to be announced.
A catalogue of work is available to view online, which is a useful way to get a feel for the gallery before you travel. Because the programme is new, it is sensible to confirm what is on before planning a visit, and the enquiry form on this page is the simplest way to ask. While you wait, our page on things to do in Malta suggests other cultural stops, and St John's Co-Cathedral is one of the capital's best-known sights.
Early visitors will be among the first to see how the space is used. The gallery promotes talent one work at a time, so you can expect an intimate, carefully chosen programme rather than a large commercial showroom, and the chance to talk about the work with people who care about it.
Valletta around the gallery
Valletta is compact and easy to explore on foot, with its grid of streets, historic palaces, churches and gardens all within a short walk. The Upper Barrakka Gardens are a pleasant place to rest between gallery visits, and the city makes an ideal base for a culture-focused break.

St Paul Street itself is a good place to start a wander. Valletta's streets run in a straight grid, so it is simple to find your way from the gallery to the harbour views, cafes and churches nearby, and an unhurried morning of looking at art followed by lunch in the city is an easy plan for a short stay.
