Casa Rocca Piccola is a 16th-century palace in Malta, and home of the noble Maltese family de Piro.

[5] The Casa Rocca Piccola was built in 1580[6] an era in which the Knights of St John, having successfully fought off the invading Turks in 1565, decided to build a prestigious city to rival other European capitals such as Paris and Venice.

[7] Palaces were designed for prestige and aesthetic beauty in most of Valletta's streets, and bastion walls fortified the new sixteenth-century city.

[12] Casa Rocca Piccola houses Malta's largest private collection of antique costumes.

Casa Rocca Piccola founded and hosts the annual HSBC Malta Lace Competition.
