Traveler reviews
John Mc Bride
★★★★★4 months agoHave visited this building on many occasion. Was lucky to have completed my Diploma in Hotel & Catering Management when the college was situated there. The Sacra Infermeria of the knights Hospitalier Order of St. John. Well worth a visit. On this occasion we attended a Ballet Performance by the Balleto di Milano. Who performed a ballet based on Bizet's Opera Carmen. Amazing Venue & Performance
Michael Bochorishvili
★★★★★a year agoI attended Jesus Christ Superstar at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, and it was an unforgettable experience! The venue itself is absolutely stunning — full of history, with beautiful architecture and a breathtaking view of the sea. The acoustics and lighting were perfect for the performance, and the atmosphere added so much to the overall experience. Everything was well organized, and the staff were kind and professional. I highly recommend visiting this amazing place, whether for a show, a conference, or just to admire its beauty.
