The Maltese National Commission for UNESCO announced the forthcoming publishing of an Interactive CD-ROM featuring the Palace of the Grandmasters in Valletta, Malta.
The CD-ROM, which will be publicly available for sale in January 2008, provides extensive information about the history of this remarkable building, together with Virtual Tours of the main rooms in the building.
Seasus was commissioned at the end of 2006 by the Maltese National Commission for UNESCO to produce this presentation.
The interface was designed to reflect the grandiosity and splendour of the Palace itself, whilst providing navigation which is as intuitive and simple to use as possible.
The presentation is developed using Adobe Flash technology.
About the Palace of the Grandmasters, Valletta – Malta
The Palace of the Grand Masters, currently known as the Presidential Palace, was built in the late 16th century to the design of the Maltese architect Girolomo Cassar. It stands in the centre of Valletta, Malta’s capital city, named after Grand Master La Valette, the hero of the Great Siege of 1565.
From its early humble beginnings, the Palace of the Grand Masters evolved into a magnificent edifice fit for royalty, compatible with the Order of St John’s prestige and reputation as a generous patron of the arts and culture in all their highest forms of sophistication. The Order was concerned not only with the embellishment of the Palace but also with enhancing its status with munificent donations and refined tastes.
Successive Grand Masters rendered the Palace a centre of power and culture. Its halls and corridors mirror the way of life of its cultured patrons as we visit, through virtual tours and images, the exquisite tapestries, impressive frescoes and paintings, period furniture and rich furnishings executed by reputable European artists.
Today, the Palace continues to serve as a vibrant centre of political and administrative activity since it houses the Office of the President, the House of Representatives and several important Government offices.
