The exterior of this cathedral, which is attractive but plain, completely belies the experience of the interior. The church, which is still connected to the Knights of Malta is stunning. I personally do ot care overmuch for the very elaborate decoration of the baroque but this experience completely overwhelms one with its demonstration of wealth, power and religious fervour. In...

It seems silly almost to write a review of this site . The very thought of visiting Malta and NOT seeing it is absurd. Even if you do not want to visit any other of the over 365 churches on the islands come in here and also into the museum. By chance we discovered on our visit that for some... More

It seems odd to pay to visit the House of God (which is strangely closed on a Sunday), but this isn't really any longer a cathedral, instead it's an excessively opulent historical art gallery and museum. Seen like that and it's worth the €6 admission fee and audio guide.

What an amazing cathedral this is. The decoration is unrivalled in it's WOW factor. It took us a few days before we eventually found it open, but when we did it was just spectacular. We probably just didn't read the opening times notices properly..well, we didn't as the entrance is around the corner and we didn't realise this !!!!
