The Armoury, Gozo
      Like to know more? See the Palace Armoury too
 

The Armoury in Gozo is located in the Citadel, Victoria, in Triq il-Kwartier San Martin, just opposite the Natural Science Museum. It was originally built as a grain store, probably in 1776, since this date is carved on the arched doorway.

During the British period, it served as a soldiers' mess. In fact, it also had a stone oven
which dates from this period. This was dismantled when the building was turned
into an armoury and is now kept in storage.

The building was officially inaugurated as the Armoury in March, 1984, and now hosts a small selection of armour and some other items of general interest. It is only open to the public on request. For further details and to arrange to visit the Armoury, see Contacting Museums & Sites.
