Palace of weapons at the Palace of the Grand Master.
Of course, the Knights of the Maltese Order have long occupied my imagination. Valletta and Knights of the Maltese Order Concepts closely connected with each other.
The problem is that we do not always understand that just a knight - in Germany was the lower noble rank, the French appeal to the French appeal, Spanish Caballero, and the like, was appropriate about the appeal. The knights stood below the aristocracy, which began with the title of Baron. Then the knights began to consider as a low aristocracy. But in the late Middle Ages, the knights for the title of knight assumed belonging to the aristocracy. The Order Knight is a member of the Knight's Order. Upon joining the Maltese Order, it was necessary to prove with the Castillas continuously 4 generations of nobles in the pedigree, and for the Germans 18! It was connected with the understanding of the word Knight about which was said at the very beginning. Some descendants of the knights and now measure the length of their pedigree stacks of old documents. The library behind the back of the monument of Queen Victoria is the most complete library of documents about the history of knightly childbirth in the world.
The most complete collection of knightly weapons is Palace Armoury (weapon palace). He is located in the Palace of the Grand Master. This is the very center of Valettes, a Triq L'-Arcisqof quadrilater, Triq Il-Merkanti, Triq Ir-Repubblika and Triq IT-Teatru L-Antik.
In it, the world's largest collection of armor, swords, weapons, shields, carbines, bronze guns.
Of course the collection was the subject of the lust of many. A lot was taken to Napoleon in 1798. The French brought out pictures with the image of battle scenes and weapons. Quite a lot were taken by the British. There are Turkish weapons samples and rare specimens of rare weapons of Maltesers from different countries. According to the museum you can go with the audio guide, but there is no Russian language
