Prior to the arrival of the Knights of St. John, the Vilhena Palace housed the so-called Universita, a council consisting of elected members of the leading families of the Maltese nobility which was in charge of Malta's administration in the Sicilian period. Under the rule of the Order of Malta, the converted palace served as the summer residence of the Grand Master.
