The Cassar designed this auberge as a single-story edifice and it displays a typical example of his one major architectural hallmark, the use of massive and rusticated quoins - the eternal corners of walls. The Italian Grand Master Cerafa added a top floor in 1683, as well as an ornate relief above the main door. The relief is a bust, which includes trumpets, Roman armor, flags, escutcheons, weapons, and ornamental drapes.

The building once housed the law courts and a museum.
