St. John's Co-Cathedral

The price to enter this cathedral is €15 but it’s worth it. The cathedral is ornate and impressive, and there’s such a unique history behind it, especially giving the Order of St John and their role in Malta. It’s better to buy online since a line forms to enter. There is even a nice exhibit on Caravaggio and his art style. Anyone in Valletta should visit.

Great experience, which on entering found it overwhelming. The art, the history, was all amazing. The audio system worked well and provided good details of what we were seeing and the historical information. Caravaggio is breathtaking. Take the time to watch the video about how he came to Malta and what happened. The bell tower tour gives a great view of Malta and a very interesting history

The outside of the cathedral doesn't prepare you for what it's like inside, once you enter the theme is amazing, art meets history and you honestly don't know what to admire first, there is also an audio visual available that explains everything to you. The Caravaggio paintings with the help of technology also a great experience. A must visit in Valletta !

An extravagantly decorated catholic cathedral at the heart of Valletta. The cathedral was built by the Knights Hospitaller. There are stunning paintings inside, including by Caravaggio, who once lived in Malta. It is a beautiful cathedral overall. There is an audio guide, though it feels like a lengthy string of facts, rather than a meaningful story of the cathedral. There is also an excellent video describing parts of Caravaggio's life, which is worth watching. Tickets can be purchased the day before online allowing you to skip the queues. This is particularly important for weekends when it gets busy.

Ok, buy your tickets in advance to avoid the line, no heels or shirts without sleeves or with exposed shoulders. The line gets long unless you are there right when they open. They sell like paper shawls if you are in a tank top. Admission includes an audio self tour device which is pretty neat. This cathedral was constructed by knights basically fighting in the holy lands. Lots of relics and iconography to prove their glory and such. Very cool. Awesome examples of baroque art. There is a crypt you can see underneath as well

Stunning - see Tip 👇 A must visit attraction when in #Malta. The audio guide is provided with the fee (with option to use your phone via app) excellent, we’ll sign posted, organised. Very popular, to avoid queues, we booked the tickets online (non-refundable), arrived 20 mins before opening @ 9am. Allocate at least an hour and a half. We visited in December, very pleasant. Tip❣️The #Caravaggio 3D experience a must-do. It invites you to step in and explore in detail Caravaggio’s masterpiece, The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. I’m afraid not ideal for people with a level of light sensitivity.

The rather ordinary exterior hides an utterly extraordinary interior. Personally, I hate Catholic baroque, but the sheer beauty and exuberance of the decoration does impress. A monument to man's power rather than a house of God, though! The 2 Caravaggios are also superb. Our rapid entry was purely the result of getting there before it opened. It becomes crazy full.

A small but magnificent cathedral. The deor inside and particularly the roof are breathtaking. My eyes were overwhelmed. A lot to see in a small space including exhibitions, artwork, religious icons and beauty throughout. Access is from the side not the front where you come out. We came when it opened and with a ticket bought online (which you can do on the day) and get in quicker - but expect queues! Tickets were not timed on our day but the queue was significantly shorter.
