Structure of the Embassy
The Embassy of the Order to the Kingdom of Spain (Residence and Chauncery) has its seat in Madrid (Calle del Prado). Our offices are open every week day from 11 to 14 hours.
The Embassy is composed by the following diplomats:

Every State celebrates the “National Day”. For the Sovereign Order of Malta this event is on 24 June, for the Feast of St. John the Baptist, Patron of the Order of Malta.
