St Paul Palazzo, located on St Paul Street in Valletta, is a historic building undergoing a comprehensive rehabilitation project. The works involve full restoration, the sensitive addition of an extension, and conversion into high-quality hospitality accommodation. The project is designed to merge contemporary functionality with Valletta’s architectural heritage, preserving the building’s historical character while adapting it for modern use.

AX Construction has undertaken the structural consolidation and rehabilitation of the palazzo, carefully reconfiguring internal spaces to align with the designer’s vision while respecting its historic fabric. This includes the construction of an F3 reinforced concrete lift shaft and connecting walkways, introducing modern accessibility without compromising heritage elements.

The project also involves the meticulous restoration of stone arches, façades, and architectural features using traditional stone masonry techniques. Skilled craftsmen have repaired and rebuilt elements where necessary, preserving the authenticity and natural patina of the building. At the same time, a new extension has been sensitively integrated with the original structure, combining advanced construction methods with careful conservation to ensure both structural stability and functional adaptability.

Close coordination with architects and heritage consultants has been central throughout, ensuring that all interventions respect the building’s historical significance. The result is a seamless integration of preservation and contemporary design, transforming the palazzo into a refined hospitality space while honouring Valletta’s rich architectural legacy.
