Grand Master's Palace - Armory

The original armory, on the first floor, has been the House of Representatives since 1976. The present armory is housed in the stables, off the courtyard.

A knight's armor became the property of the Order after his death and the armory contains 5,000 pieces in its comprehensive collection of 16th - 18th century military hardware. Just about every piece of armor of the 15-piece jigsaw that was needed to envelop a crusading knight is displayed. Also on display are swords, arquebuses, forks and halberds designed to penetrate the armor.
