The Old Prison is located in the Citadel of Victoria, Gozo, adjacent to the Courts of Justice to which it was originally connected. Today, the prison complex is divided into two different buildings: the entrance hall, which had been a common cell in the 19th century, and a free-standing block with six individual cells. This prison was active from the mid-16th century until 1962.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Museum/Old Prison )〕 First, it used to host the roudest or most riotus knights, as a place to cool down. Even the most historical knight, Fra Jean Parisot de Valette (later Grand Master of Malta) was imprisoned there in 1538.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heritage Malta )〕 The site is well preserved in its original state, and one can find a large amount of graffiti etched into the limestone walls. Representations are often of ships, hand-prints, crosses, names, dates, games, and anthropomorphic figures .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Prisoner's Grafiti.
