The Auberge d'Aragon (Maltese: Berġa ta' Aragona) is one of the auberges built in Birgu, Malta, for the langues of the knights of the Order of Saint John. It housed the langue of Aragon until the building of a larger Auberge d'Aragon in Valletta in the 1570s. The building was next to Auberge d'Auvergne et Provence and Auberge de France and together, these Auberges formed a compact block. Unfortunately the facade of Auberge d'Aragon has been recently altered to an extant that it is unrecognizable from the original. The Auberge was listed as a Grade 1 national monument on 22 December 2009.[1]
