Palazzo Ferreria, officially Palazzo Buttiġieġ-Francia,[3] is a palace found near the entrance of Valletta, the capital city of Malta. It was built in the late 19th century.[4] Designed by Architect Giuseppe Bonavia, it makes use of an interesting concept of adding local timber balconies to a design inspired from that of buildings in Italy. It is protected as a Grade 2 national monument.
