St John Co cathedral Guided Tour

1 hour and 30 minutes

Easy

Join Ġanni, a licensed Maltese guide, for an in-depth tour of St. John’s Co-Cathedral, exploring its Baroque interior, the history of the Knights of St. John, and masterpieces by Caravaggio, with rich stories and insights throughout.
Step inside St. John’s Co-Cathedral with me, Ġanni, your licensed Maltese guide, and discover the stories behind one of Malta’s greatest treasures.

Together, we’ll explore the magnificent Baroque interior and uncover the history of the Knights of St. John, their chapels, monuments and extraordinary marble tombs. I’ll bring to life the Grand Masters, the Knights and the artists who transformed their conventual church into the masterpiece we see today.

A highlight of our visit is Caravaggio. We’ll discover his dramatic life in Malta and stand before The Beheading of St. John the Baptist—his largest painting and the only work he ever signed—as well as St. Jerome Writing.

Rather than simply pointing out what you can see, I’ll share the stories, personalities and details behind the art and architecture, giving you a deeper understanding of the Knights and their remarkable legacy in Malta.
