The Ospizio (Maltese: L-Ospizju), originally known as the Casa di Carità, was a poorhouse in Floriana, Malta which cared for destitute elderly men and women, poor young women, and mentally ill patients during the 18th and 19th centuries. It also served as a women's prison. It was housed in a complex of buildings along the Floriana Lines overlooking Marsamxett Harbour, which are currently being restored and incorporated into the Malta International Contemporary Art Space (MICAS).
