When you’re seeing the large lines in front of the main cathedral of Valletta you might think about skipping this sight and saving the high entrance fee of 15 hours. But that would be a bad decision as the St. John’s Co-Cathedral is not like an ordinary church, it is filled with extraordinary richness that cannot be seen or guessed from the outside. St. John’s Co-Cathedral was built by the Knights Hospitaller until the year 1578 and contains a section for every nationality that sent knights.
You’ll find a French, an Italian, and also a German section. The complimentary audio guide will lead you through the church and also to a large painting of Caravaggio (‘The Beheading of St John the Baptist‘). Don’t miss to climb up to the narrow balcony and have a look from there on the inside of this impressive church. By the way: it is called Co-Cathedral as the main cathedral of Malta is located at Mdina.
