Hear tales of heroic knights, decipher symbols on their tombs and see the world's largest Caravaggio painting in a cathedral like no other.
Discover the secrets waiting for you in St John’s Co-Cathedral – all the things the audioguide doesn’t tell you!
Built by the Order of St John, this church is one of Tripadvisor’s Top 25 Attractions in Europe and has “the most beautiful floor in the world” consisting of more than 400 marble tomb slabs.
This tour will reveal fascinating stories of the Order’s Grand Masters and their knights, and teach you the hidden meanings of the symbols left for you to examine on their tombs.
You’ll also discover the secrets of two Caravaggio paintings found within the church, hear why the talented but troubled Caravaggio was kicked out of the Order and learn the incredible story of how one of his paintings was recovered by a Maltese priest/detective after it was stolen from the cathedral.
You’ll also hear the story of the only woman said to be buried in the church – and why this is a “co-cathedral”.
All this and more on the Secrets of St John’s Co-Cathedral tour.
