Beschreibung

Discover the legacy of the Knights of St. John on a guided tour of St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta. Admire the Baroque splendor of the cathedral's interior and see Caravaggio's masterpiece.
Step into the golden heart of St. John's Co-Cathedral and uncover a world where power, faith, and artistry intertwine. Journey through the legacy of the Knights of St. John—the warrior-monks who shaped Malta’s destiny.

As you wander through the cathedral’s richly gilded interior, discover how these knights transformed a place of worship into a breathtaking showcase of Baroque splendor, adorned with treasures gathered from across Europe.

Beneath your feet lie the ornate marble tombs of the Order’s most powerful leaders, including legendary Grand Masters such as Jean Parisot de Valette, the founder of Valletta. Each slab tells a story of ambition, devotion, and mortality, revealing a brotherhood bound by honor and eternal remembrance.

Through tales of epic battles, courage, and sacrifice—including the defining moments of the Great Siege of Malta—relive the triumphs and trials that forged the Knights’ enduring legacy. Look closely at the cathedral’s walls and ceilings, where hidden symbols and intricate details whisper secrets of power, faith, and identity.

Continue through the dramatic life of Caravaggio, the rebellious genius who found refuge in Malta. Inside the cathedral, stand before his monumental masterpiece, The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist—the only painting he ever signed—and another powerful work that captures his raw, emotional style.

Led by your expert guide, Ġanni, you won’t just hear history—you’ll walk it. Trace the same paths as the Knights once did, within the very walls they built and inhabited for over two centuries.
