A very impressive cathedral worth visiting and more because of the museum with Duree Albrect painting and work and other exhibits More

It was a rainy day when we decided to finally pay a visit inside the Cathedral. We have been coming to Malta for over 20 years and had never been inside. It was a sight not to be missed. The architecture amazing and a very calming atmosphere. Put it on your 'to do' list without a doubt. More

We really had a fantastic trip with John from Malta Taxi Online few days ago, while we were in Malta on our business trip. John took us every where on the Island and we really had a great time with him. John knows each hiding places in Malta which are very interesting and you should experience in example in history...

Beautiful beyond belief. The colors jumped off the walls and ceilings. The early morning light was perfect for both photos and video. The video clip of the entire interior of the cathedral is one of the highlights of my entire trip. More

I went along with my family which included a teenager and an 8 year old. We first went into the museum which had some very old artifacts and exhibits, lots of paintings. It was very interesting, keeping us all involved. I was suprised at how good it was as I felt that many places on Malta were overpriced where as... More

This cathedral is similar to Cathedral in Valletta but it’s museum is much less interesting. Marble floor looks almost the same in both cathedrals. Museum is very old fashioned and exhibits interesting to experts or freaks of canonicals. Entrance fee covers both cathedral and museum. If you have already seen Cathedral in Valetta it’s not worth entering , if not... More

The exterior isn't particularly eye catching but the interior is pretty impressive with beautiful painted ceilings. Photography is allowed as long as you don't use the flash. Security is watchful but non- imposing. There is an entry fee of a few Euros. Also known as St Paul's Cathedral, ironically it is a vastly more enjoyable visiting experience than it's name... More

This Cathedral (a.k.a. St. Paul's) is hidden away in a small square of the Old City, which itself is a sight to admire. From the outside, it looks like almost any other old church in Europe. However, like many, once you step inside, you're amazed by the artwork, colors, and light. Unfortunately (yet understandably), flash photography was not allowed inside.... More
