Auberge d'Allemagne, Birgu
It was built in the 16th century to house knights of the Order of Saint John from the langue of Germany.The Birgu auberge was initially used as a private residence, before being converted into a casa bottega.[2] The auberge was heavily damaged by aerial bombardment during World War II, and only some inner rooms survived the bombing.The site was rebuilt as a four-storey apartment block between 1961 and 1963, incorporating the remains of the auberge into the new building.[1] An original marker still sits in front of the building marking the beginning of the collachio, an area that was reserved for the knights.
