Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
St. John's Cathedral in Valletta is one of the more famous cathedrals in the world. It was built by the Knights of Malta from 1573 to 1578. It is the place where leaders and knights hold major religious ceremonies and sacrifices. The church is in early Baroque architectural style, partly imitating Gothic. Although the exterior is pure white and plain, the interior ornate decoration is breathtaking. The entire dome of the church is a large fresco, painted by the Italian painter Madia Brady, showing the life story of St. John, and the carved stone walls can make people understand the history of the Knights. This church is also known as one of the more beautiful churches in Europe. The interior of the cathedral is further divided into eight chapels, dedicated to the patron saints of the eight parts of the Knights. There is also a Cathedral Museum (CathedralMuseum), one of the more famous works of art is Caravaggio's "Saint John beheaded".

The Baroque decoration inside St. John's Cathedral is amazing. There is a cathedral museum inside, which displays two important works by the Italian painter Caravaggio.
St. John's Cathedral built by the Order of Malta, gorgeous local gold. Listening to the name everyone knows that this church is built for St. John the Baptist, also the patron saint of the Order of Malta, the sculpture of the Lord is not the regular Jesus crucified, the dome murals are also St. John's story. Queues outside, queues inside to see Caravaggio's Saint John beheaded
Beautiful building amazing location history
The Basilica of St. John of Valletta can definitely be described as magnificent. The eyes of the church are full of gold. The entire interior of the church is covered with gold foil, which shows the degree of luxury. The Mass here is solemn and there are many believers. It is definitely worth visiting.
The center of the ancient city of Valletta, the most famous cathedral in Valletta, is very beautiful. Although I didn't take photos this time, people can feel very gorgeous inside and it is difficult to express in language. It is worthy of being the top 5 churches in Europe.
Tickets are bought on-the-go, no need to wait in line, with English interpreters, all visits and browsing takes about 1.5-2 hours. If you know history, you must have a harvest. The cross star on the wall is very impressive.
