St John’s Co‑Cathedral, Valletta

St John’s Co-Cathedral was built between 1572 and 1577 for the Order of St John and is one of Valletta’s principal monuments. Its austere exterior gives little hint of the richly ornamented interior, where marble tomb slabs, gilded surfaces and Mattia Preti’s painted ceiling create an elaborate Baroque ensemble. In the Oratory hangs Caravaggio’s Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, one of the great works in Malta. The cathedral remains central to the artistic legacy of the Knights.
