The venue
The Mediterranean Conference Centre sits at the tip of Valletta, close to Fort St Elmo and overlooking the entrance to the Grand Harbour. It began life in 1574 as the Sacra Infermeria, the hospital of the Knights of St John. Its Long Ward, 155 metres from end to end, is one of the building’s most famous spaces.
After a major restoration, the old hospital opened as a conference centre in 1979 and was later awarded a Europa Nostra Diploma of Merit. Today it is one of Malta’s main venues for concerts, theatre and comedy.
