The Church of St John, Strada Reale, Valletta, Malta, 1891: A Timeless Testament of Architectural Grandeur and Religious Devotion This evocative photograph, taken in 1891, captures the grandeur and historical significance of The Church of St John, situated in Strada Reale, Valletta, Malta. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 44, July to December, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the architectural beauty and religious importance of this magnificent structure. The Church of St John, also known as St John's Co-Cathedral, dates back to the 16th century, making it a testament to the rich history of the Maltese Islands and the Knights Hospitaller, who ruled Malta during the British Empire. The church was designed by Girolamo Cassar, a renowned Maltese architect, and bears the distinct influence of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, also known as the Knights Hospitalers. The photograph showcases the church's impressive exterior, with its tall spires and ornate details, standing proudly against the Mediterranean backdrop. The image also reveals the presence of people, adding a sense of life and activity to the scene. The church's bell tower, a prominent feature, can be seen reaching towards the sky, symbolizing the connection between the earthly realm and the divine. The Church of St John is a significant religious site for the Roman Catholic community in Malta and is renowned for its intricate interior, adorned with masterpieces by renowned artists Caravaggio and Mattia Preti. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of this architectural and religious marvel, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
