Abstract:	The Jesuit mission in Malta, marked by a profound dedication to spiritual formation and moral renewal, reached a pivotal moment with the establishment of Casa Manresa in the Floriana suburb of Valletta. Casa Manresa (now the Archbishop’s Curia) was completed around 1751 by Pier Francesco Rosignoli (1690–1775), a Jesuit priest born in Novara, Italy. Constructed to serve as a retreat house on the edge of the Floriana plateau, its building commenced in 1743 on land bought from proceeds accruing from the sale of a house that Balì Fra Giovanni Battista Spinola (c.1668–1737) had bequeathed to the Jesuits for use as a retreat house for both clergy and laity.
