The palace of the grand master, situated at the western corner of the Middle Castle and projecting beyond the wall of the castle, is one of the finest pieces of secular architecture from this period. The main rooms are the Summer Refectory and the Winter Refectory. The former, two stories high, features a series of stone cross-windows, which stand between pier buttresses that form niches for pairs of granite columns, the main load-bearing elements of the structure. The columns continue upwards and end in segmental arches.
