Banca Giuratale (Victoria, Gozo)

The Banca Giuratale (Maltese: Banka Ġuratali) is the city hall of Victoria, Gozo, Malta.

[1] In 1798, the Banca Giuratale served as the headquarters of the rebels during the Gozitan uprising against French occupation.

The rebels would eventually establish an independent state known as La Nazione Gozitana, which lasted until 1801.

[3] The Università system was abolished by Governor Thomas Maitland in 1819, and the building was subsequently used as a police station, post office, the Public Archives and the Agriculture Department.

[6] Since 1994, the building has returned to its original role as a city hall, housing the Victoria Local Council.
