Villa Francia, initially named as Palazzo Francia, then named as Villa Preziosi, and officially known as Palazzo Francia and Francia Estate, is an 18th-century palace in Lija, Malta. The palace was built circa 1757, by Francesco Preziosi, with baroque architecture that gave a sense of pride and power to noble people at the time. The first ambitious owner became bankrupt with the expenses of the palace, to make it an outstanding building and incomparable with others, and because of this he was pressured to sell his possession by the Order of St. John to pay his accumulated debts.

  • Villa Francia, pierwotnie nazwana Palazzo Francia, następnie Villa Preziosi, dziś oficjalnie znana jako Palazzo Francia oraz Francia Estate – XVIII-wieczny pałac w Lija na Malcie. Zbudowany około 1757 roku przez Francesco Preziosi w stylu architektury barokowej, która w tamtych czasach dawała arystokracji poczucie dumy i mocy. Pierwszy ambitny właściciel zbankrutował, wydając cały majątek na budowę pałacu, chcąc, aby był budynkiem wybitnym i nieporównywalnym z innymi. W wyniku tego zmuszony był sprzedać całą posiadłość Zakonowi św. Jana, aby spłacić rosnący dług. (pl)
