- Auberge_de_France,_Birgu abstract "The Auberge de France (Maltese: Berġa ta' Franza) is one of the auberges built in Birgu, Malta, for the langues of the knights of the Order of Saint John. It housed the langue of France until the building of a larger Auberge de France in Valletta in 1570. The building was next to Auberge d'Aragon and Auberge d'Auvergne et Provence and together, these Auberges formed a compact block. The Auberge follows the traditional Maltese sixteenth century architectural style. There are vaulted rooms near the main entrance, and the door is decorated with sculptures. The wrought iron lattice above the door bears the fleur-de-lys, the symbol of France.After it was closed in 1570, it was sold to private owners along with the other Auberges in Birgu. In the nineteenth century it was acquired by the rich Vella family, and the palace was informally known as il-Palazz tal-Miljunarju (The Palace of the Millionaire). It became a primary school in 1852, and it continued to serve this purpose until 1918. In 1921 it was used as a furniture factory, and in 1938 it was acquired by the Government for use as a school once again. It was closed during the Second World War and later fell into disuse.From 1966 to 1978 it was once again used as a carpenter's workshop. In 1980 the building was restored and from 1981 it was a Museum of Political History. This project was unsuccessful and was closed down in 1988. The building fell into disuse and the ceiling had to be renovated in 1990 due to rainwater damage. It was retained by the Museums Department but there were no funds for its upkeep. In 2012 the Auberge was rented to the Birgu Local Council, and is currently undergoing restoration once again. There are plans to move the offices of the Local Council to the former Auberge.The Auberge is the second best preserved Auberge in Birgu, after Auberge d'Angleterre. It was listed as a Grade 1 national monument on 22 December 2009.".
