We had been told about St Johns by a friend. It truly is one not to miss.
Caravaggio leaves you breathless. The Cathedral is beautifully decorated in Baroque style highlighting the devotion and strength of the Knights of San Giivanni
Unique city! One day a little, returned on the day of departure. Look for the route "around the perimeter" and you will not regret it, so unexpected. The lower gardens of Barakki are a miracle, the upper ones are pompous, but Einstein is already there two (!) Times mentioned.
It's an interesting city with a lot of things to visit. Visit St. John's Co - cathedral; it's amazing from the inside. Also at noon go to the upper Barraka gardens to see the gun fire!
Don't miss it, especially the Barrakka Gardens with the amazing scenery.
Impressive cathedral, the audio guide information is an incredible complement to what is observed.
Very beautiful, they maintain the completion of the facades of the entire stone city, giving a very peculiar touch to it
A true gem in the capital Valletta I'd rate this cathedral as Number 1 must see in this city. It's plain exterior beguiles its magnificent interior. You need to walk through it with eyes down, up and sideways in all directions. Try and read inscriptions and make sure you take a long look at the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament. And PLEASE do not wear pointed heels and walk only where allowed. When you visit St John's, you'll see why!!
Very nice place. Friendly and helpful people. Exceptional climate. Excellent Maltese cuisine.
Cathedral is super beautiful, wonderful, extraordinary, a little mysterious, really hard to describe. Very many guests, but easy and quiet. Very specific atmosphere. Really a miracle. Staff very friendly, professional and helpful. If you want to see everything closely, you have to reserve 4-5 hours. It is center of Valetta only to come by foot. PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOS ....
Very beautiful. Get the audio set and go at your own pace.
Stunning inside, but 10 for an adult just for entry seems quite steep.
A small and very pretty city, full of little clubs. With beautiful Cathedral that contains some works by Caravaggio .... Absolutely not to be missed!
For lovers of history, it's a great place. It would be even more enjoyable if the prices were a bit more affordable.
10 Euros is quite expensive considering some of the more important historical sites are far less. Some amazing religious art that even the most hardened atheist can admire. Its a beautiful building, but the museum leaves you a little wanting. Worth a visit for the Caravaggio. Stunning painting!
One of the most beautiful interiors of any building I've been in. It's easy to get carried away looking up at the art, but don't forget to look down at the tombs on the floor. I've never seen anything like it.
Very nice church/museum and good audio guide..it worth a visit to see the history not only of the church and Saint John but Malta's also
Spectacular set of monuments, cathedrals, churches, palace, theater, library, rock house etc ...
Magnificent but De Vallette would have turned in his grave.
Large and meticulously decorated, from the floors to the ceilings. Although they charge the entrance, it is highly recommended to visit it.
Remarkable place in Valleta and of course Caravaggio!
A must if you go to Valletta. The Architecture and all the details of this church are very interesting. Specially the history behind this Co-Cathedral. Why named Co-Cathedral?...go and check it out. Four tour guides the provide audible experience. A tour guide is highly recomended for Valletta.
The temple was built in 1573-1578 as a church of the Order of St. John. It was designed by the Maltese architect Girolamo Cassar. The cathedral has eight chapels, each of which is dedicated to one of the "languages" of the Order of St. John. Inside the co-cathedral, near the main entrance, there is the tombstone of Grand Master Joannite Marc Antonio Zondadari. Inconspicuous from the outside. The interior is full of ornaments, sculptures, marble and decorations. Literally every free fragment of the walls was richly decorated. You can walk with your head up all the time.
Worth seeing cathedral in which many grand masters of the Order of St. John were buried.
THE ABSOLUTE MUST SEE IN MALTA. One of the most impressive churches I have ever seen.
amazing and totally worth the visit. the Caravaggios are amazing. the detailed descriptions of the church is very thourough but can get repetitive
The absolute must see Order of St John location in Malta
Beautiful this co-cathedral (because it's not a cathedral as the cathedral of maIta it's in the old capital in Medina) had see many of them but this one is wonderful and full of story specially the oder of"chevalier de malte" and at the end of the tour a beautiful painting of Caravaggio. I really recommend!
Very beautiful the city full of people and monuments to visit besides the sea
Well presented cathedral in popular area plenty of cafes around
Definitely five! Entrance from the Republic street, side door. Separate groups and individuals. Free audio guides in several languages are available. There is no Polish. Bags and backpacks should be carried in front of you. Toilet located at the sacristy. A shop with books and souvenirs opposite. At the exit, the main door is the entrance to the balcony. A great attraction is the painting of Caravaggio. "The imprint of Saint. John. "
Once a day Where to go at night
This stunning elaborately adorned Cathedral is a must see in Valletta, Malta. Caravaggio's masterpiece, "The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist" alone is worth the small entrance fee.
Breathtaking art work and designs in a beautiful Cathedral.
Wonder of wonders in Malta and in the world: from Caravaggio to Preti paintings of rare beauty. The Baroque triumphs with finesse and elegance. Don't miss it!
The place, of course, is very cool. For 10 you can learn a lot about the history of Malta, religion, chivalry, etc. They give an audio guide, so the tour will be informative, but I was bored :)
I was there off-season, but it was very crowded and incredibly hot (although there were some ventillators). The headset of the audioguide is at 1cm from one's ears that means you hear others talking and the guides talking to their group. And the music played in the cathedral doesn't help hearing the text. On the bright side the Caravaggio pictures are awesome, so it was worth the pain.
