Police museum
This building was built in 1734 by order of the Portugese Grandmaster Manoel de Vilhena as a home for homeless women. The homeless learned how to read, write and were taught several trades like how to process cotton, card and weave.
From 1850 onwards the building was used as a general hospital during the British period. In the Second World War rooms were built underneath the building to treat patients who were not mobile when there was a bomb alarm.
