Selmun Palace (Maltese: Il-Palazz ta' Selmun), also known as Selmun Tower, is a villa on the Selmun Peninsula in Mellieħa, Malta. It was built in the 18th century by the Monte della Redenzione degli Schiavi, funded by the Monte di Pietà.[2] The palace was located on the grounds of a hotel until it closed in 2011.[3]
