Pietà is one of the historical peripheral towns of Valletta dating back to circa 1800. It boasts a rich heritage of unique scheduled buildings, with a few having beautiful baroque and neoclassical gardens.
The Grade 1 scheduled property Villa Frere is perhaps the most well-known, as a result of the incredible work of Perit Edward Said and the team at Friends of Villa Frere. In addition, the locality also includes the beautiful but incredibly dilapidated Palazzo Windward and Villa Gwardamangia, the former residence of Queen Elizabeth II post WWII and recently bought by Heritage Malta. Furthermore, it includes St Luke’s Hospital, a fine building in its own right, a legacy of the best of the ‘40’s architecture in Malta.
