The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta (SMOM), known simply as the Order of Malta or Knights Hospitaller, was recognized by Pope Paschal II in 1113. After having provisional headquarters in Messina, Catania, and Ferrara, the Order finally settled in Rome in 1834. During the 20th century, the Order refocused on its mission of providing hospital care.
