Sacra Infermeria
As you stroll along Valletta's bastions in the seaside breeze, standing before the monumental structure of the Mediterranean Conference Centre, it's hard to believe that this was once a place not for diplomats and tourists, but for Europe's finest doctors and pilgrims in need of care. The Sacra Infermeria, or the Holy Infirmary, is not just a building: it represents the humanitarian conscience of the Knights of Malta, proclaiming since 1574 that alongside the sword, healing was the order's most important mission.
