Pope Gregory XIII appointed Monsignor Abela to Bishop of Sidonia in Asia Minore on July 20, 1582. He received his Episcopal Consecration from Cardinal Santori on the 19th of August in the same year. Pope Gregory VIII named him Vicar General of the island of Malta. Bishop Abela died in Rome on May 2, 1605, and was buried at the Basilica of St. John Lateran. He remains to this day the only Maltese to receive burial at the Papal Archbasilica.

 

In his native island, Abela had a summer residence constructed in the village of Tarxien. The Palace was believed to be one of the first built during the sixteenth century by noblemen and Grandmasters. It is one of the few that still stands today.

 

The Palazzo is of typical Maltese architecture, which gives it a typically medieval aspect. There are a number of small rooms and shapeless spaces on different levels linked to each other. Most of its original features have been retained, such as the high arched ceilings, vaulted roofs, large courtyard, mature gardens and frescoed chapel. The Palazzo is currently two separate buildings that comprises The Bowyer House hotel and Il-Kastell Wine bar, a fine dining restaurant. The Palazzo is also used for various functions such as parties, conferences, and seminars etc. For further information please contact us.
