Vilhena Palace, situated at the entrance to Mdina, was built during the early 18th century according to designs by French architect Charles Francois de Mondion.

Vilhena Palace displays a French Baroque style, in contrast to the predominance of an Italian Baroque architectural aesthetic in Valletta.

Today the Palace houses the National Museum of Natural History and the Mdina Local Council.
