| Summary: | Between late 1699 and early 1700 the Inquisitorial palace at Vittoriosa required structural alterations in view of the precarious conditions of its prisons as well as parts of its piano nobile. The original plans of these improvements have now been traced and are here being analysed to enable a clearer understanding of the developement of the building and the workings of the inquisitorial tribunal on the Island. The documentation and plans also throw light upon the financing of such structural projects as well as related artistic commissions. |
