History illustration. Check the sources below to explore the evidence.Set the scene.
The University’s Valletta Campus occupies the Old University Building. Its history reaches back to the foundation of the Collegium Melitense in 1592.
Here’s the twist.
The campus has entrances on Merchants Street and St Paul Street. Two everyday street addresses lead into a long educational history.
Why it still matters.
Use the streets as a route into the building, not as proof that every part of it dates to 1592. Institutions and their premises change over time.
