The Gran Castello Historic House (Maltese: Dar Storika tal-Gran Kastell), formerly known as the Folklore Museum, is a historic house museum dedicated to Gozitan folklore in Victoria, Gozo, Malta. It is located within a cluster of 16th century houses in the Cittadella, which were rehabilitated as a museum in 1983.

The museum's collections relate to the domestic, rural and traditional ways of life in the agrarian economy of the Maltese Islands and the many skills, crafts and traditions that have shaped everyday life on the islands over the centuries.

Magnificent view of the city and the surrounding hills. We can understand the advantage of not having rebuilt a dome on the citadel church, given that it was at the height of possible enemy fire coming from the hill opposite. In addition, you can observe the sea from all sides.
