The Auberge d'Allemagne (Maltese: Berġa ta' Alemanja) was one of the eight auberges built in Valletta, Malta, for the langues of the knights of the Order of Saint John. It housed the langue of Allemagne until the French occupation of Malta in 1798. It was demolished in 1839 to make way for St Paul's Pro-Cathedral. As all other demolished Auberges were pulled down due to extensive damage caused by bombing in the Second World War, this was the only intentionally demolished Auberge in Malta.[1]
