| For nearly 200 years Palazzo Capua dominated the Sliema landscape. This splendid monument to a bygone age has been referred to as probably one of the oldest and finest buildings in Sliema. Its allure is further enhanced by the romance bound to its past residents, most prominent among who were the star-crossed residents who gave it their name Prince of Capua, Carlo di Bordone and his Irish wife Penelope. The Prince and Princess of Capua first came to Malta in March 1837. They took up residence at Selma Hall, later to be known as Palazzo Capua. All their children were born there. They eventually left the Islands on the 22nd August 1850.00 Today, Palazzo Capua has been carefully restored and retuned to its formal glory and appearance. The building has now been transformed into an exclusive accommodation destination   .      | ||
