At the Auberge de Provence for the knights of St John in Malta, who belonged to the langue of Provence. Auberge is what the headquarters were called, and langues was the administrative division of the knights (from the French sphere there were Provence, France and Auvergne ).
The Auberge de Provence is now the National Museum of Archaeology. It was originally built in the first half of the 1570s, but little of this remains to be seen, it had extensive renovations in the 17th century - and that is what you can see today. The auberge was also extremely lucky during the Second World War bombings, surrounding houses were hit, but not the auberge itself.
The symbol in the marble floor is for the knights of Saint John.
