Auberge d’Aragon was built in 1571 to house the Knights of the Order of Saint John from the langue of Aragon, Navarre, and Catalonia. It is the only surviving auberge in Valletta which retains its original Mannerist design by the architect Girolamo Cassar, albeit with some modifications such as the addition of the neoclassical portico to the façade in the 19th century. Throughout the years, the building was also used as a printing press, a school, and as a hospital during World War II, besides also housing the Office of the Prime Minister between 1921 and 1933, and again between 1947 and 1972. It has since housed various government ministries, with the current being the Ministry for Justice and Reform of the Construction since 2020.
