==History==
The history of Casa Rocca Piccola goes back over 400 years to an era in which the Knights of St John, having successfully fought off the invading Turks in 1565, decided to build a prestigious city to rival other European capitals such as Paris and Venice.〔http://www.wirtghawdex.org/docs/tours/2008_04_Casa_Rocca_Piccola_Knights_Hospitallers.pdf〕 Palaces were designed for prestige and aesthetic beauty in most of Valletta's streets, and bastion walls fortified the new sixteenth-century city. Casa Rocca Piccola was one of two houses built in Valletta by Admiral Don Pietro la Rocca. It is referenced in maps of the time as "la casa con giardino" meaning, the house with the garden, as normally houses in Valletta were not allowed gardens.〔Nicholas de Piro, Casa Rocca Piccola Valletta, Insight Heritage Guides (Midsea Books), 2004, 978-9993239888〕 Changes were made in the late 18th century to divide the house into two smaller houses. Further changes were made in 1918 and before the second world war an air raid shelters was added. The Casa Rocca Piccola Family Shelter is the second air-raid shelter to be dug in Malta.〔Nicholas de Piro, Casa Rocca Piccola: Valletta, Insight Heritage Guides (Midsea Books), 2004, 978-9993239888〕
In 2000 a major restoration project saw the two houses that make up Casa Rocca Piccola reunited.
