EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the hallowed halls of St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta, a testament to the island nation's rich history and artistic heritage. This evocative photograph, captured in the 1920s, invites us to explore the intricately decorated interior of this magnificent Baroque edifice. Dedicated to St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, St John's Co-Cathedral is a masterpiece of Maltese architecture, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the 16th and 17th centuries. The interior is a visual feast for the senses, with its ornate frescoes, gilded altars, and intricately carved stonework. At the heart of the cathedral lies the breathtaking Chapel of St Lawrence, where the knights of the Order of St John, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, were once entombed. The chapel is adorned with Caravaggio's famous painting, "The Beheading of St John the Baptist," which adds an air of solemnity and reverence to the space. The Maltese people take great pride in their cultural heritage, and a visit to St John's Co-Cathedral is a must for anyone seeking to understand the unique history and artistic traditions of this Mediterranean gem. This photograph serves as a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of splendour and grandeur that continues to captivate and inspire.
