View towards the Auberge d'Aragon from the corner of Archbishop Street and West Street.

Auberge d'Aragon is an auberge in Valletta, Malta built in mannerist style by the architect Girolamo Cassar in 1541. In 1843 the auberge was leased to Bishop George Tomlinson who renamed it Gibraltar House. The neoclassical portico was probably added to the façade at this time.
