Grand Master's Palace - Pages Room

This was the waiting room for the 16 boys who were enrolled in the Order as pages by their European parents before they were 12-years-old. When they were 18 they could apply to become a knight. The frieze here is by Matteo Perez d'Aleccio and depicts various noteworthy events from the Order's 13th century history prior to its departure from the Holy Land. Also worth note are the four 16th century Urbino Majolica vases, and de Favray's portrait of de la Vallette.
