The museum explores centuries of postal history starting way back during the time of the Order of St. John (16th century).
The museum also tells the stories of the numerous individuals who played a part in the development of Malta’s communication.
The site was originally occupied by a home of noblewoman Caterina Vitale (known from the Hospital of Incurable Woman), and it was later passed on to Monte della Redenzione degli Schiavi.
The building was destroyed by aerial bombing during WWII in 1942.
A new house was built in in 1947, designed by the architect Giuseppe Cachia Caruana. A fourth storey was built after Maltapost acquired the building in 2011.
