Then we will visit the marvellous Co-Cathedral dedicated to St. John the Baptist, built by the Order of the Knights of St. John soon after the Great Siege of 1565 and completed in the year 1577. It is unquestionably one of the World’s most magnificent cathedrals.

One of the most remarkable features of the cathedral is the impressive marble floor which is composed of nearly 400 tombstones of Knights and officers of the Order, each tombstone is inlaid by a coloured marble slab bearing the crest, coat-of-arms, and epitaph of the noble knight or high-ranking officer.

Besides other treasured paintings, the cathedral also houses ‘The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist’ by the famous painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, considered one of Caravaggio’s greatest masterpieces it is the only work signed by the painter.
