MCC

It’s the very first time the International Radio Festival takes place in Valetta, the beautiful capital of Malta and European Capital of Culture for 2018. All the more happier we are to be able to host our festival at two of the city’s most exciting and steeped in history locations: the Pjazza Teatru Rjal and the Mediterranean Conference Centre. The Mediterranean Conference Centre MCC (Dar il-Mediterran għall-Konferenzi) was originally built as a hospital in the 16th century by the Order of St. John and converted to how it is today in 1979. This impressive building looks out over the Grand Harbour of Valletta and hosts not only concerts but is the island’s main venue for theatrical performances, recitals, exhibitions, conventions and banquets. Covering an area of over 7000m², the MCC includes a main auditorium, a banqueting hall (with seating for up to 900) and smaller halls ideal for more modest special events and occasions. Being one of Europe’s largest conference settings in a historical building, it stands with commendation by holding a «Europa Nostra Award» for blending its historical setting with state of the art technology. www.mcc.com.mt
