The auberge was located within Birgu's collachio, adjacent to Auberge d'Auvergne et Provence and Auberge de France.[1] The building is two stories high, and it has a central doorway and two balconies. The building housed the Langue of Aragon until a larger Auberge d'Aragon was built in Valletta sometime after 1571.[2]

Part of the façade is now covered with stone slabs, but the auberge still retains its original character. The building is now privately owned.[2]

The building was included on the Antiquities List of 1925, together with the other auberges in Birgu.[3] It was scheduled as a Grade 1 national monument on 22 December 2009,[4] and it is also listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.[1]
