A
building which belonged to some wealthy family of past times. It
features a strong architectural style, an element which could offer
some form of protection from past foreign incursions especially
from Muslim corsairs.
It
is thought that this palace was built around the year 1621 basing
this assumption on the date featured on a side door of this building.
One can also see the letters ‘IHS’ on this same entrance,
these being the first three Greek letters for ‘JESUS’.
Some
alterations have taken place over the years as is evident from a
close look at the building. ‘Ta’ Kaspru’ Palace
is today in a built-up area and has become part of the urban environment.
Yet in the past it surely commanded a more imposing sight as much
of the land around it was made up of fields with Ta’ Kaspru
in the midst.
