Spazju Kreattiv
Spazju Kreattiv is an art and culture exhibition centre located at the entrance of Valletta’s Pjazza Kastilja.
It is based inside St James Cavalier, a 16th-century fortification.
As you walk through the long tunnel entrance you pass from classic Maltese limestone architecture into the gallery space.
Exhibitions usually blend global talent with Maltese roots. Swipe through our gallery to see some of the artwork from “Framing the Iconic”, a retrospective of photographer Lorenzo Agius.
