Palazzo Parisio, formerly known as Scicluna Palace,[1] Palazzo Scicluna,[3] and officially Palazzo Parisio and Gardens, is a 20th-century palace in Naxxar, Malta.[4] On site was a hunting lodge built in 1733 by Paolo Parisio, and was used as a summer or permanent residence, barracks and a college, before being acquired by the Marquis Scicluna in 1898.
The marquis modified the building between 1900 and 1907 with the appearance visible today. Its architecture is composed of a Art Nouveau front and back façades and a Sicilian Baroque interior. Today, Palazzo Parisio and its surrounding gardens are in good condition and are open to the public.
