St.John's Cathedral



St.John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta was built by the Knights of Malta between 1573 and 1578, commisioned by Grand Master Jean de la Cassiere as the conventual church of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller of St.John known as the Knights of Malta. Military architect Gerolamo Cassar designed the church.
