Over the past decade, Grand Master de Valette's sword has gained considerable attention in various forms of media and exhibitions. Its historical significance, connected to the 1565 defense of Birgu, has spurred renewed academic interest, partly credited to research by the Malta Historical Fencing Association. Alongside the sword, de Valette's ceremonial hat represents the authority of the Grand Master and resonates with historical traditions of honoring faith defenders. Both artifacts highlight the enduring legacy of the Order of the Hospitallers.
