Why Malta has more gold in its churches than the Vatican — and how to find them
Malta has 365 churches — one for every day of the year. Maklowicz enters St John's Co-Cathedral and sums it up in one word: "Stunning baroque." That's just the beginning.
The Knights of Malta came from the greatest aristocratic families of Europe. Each "langue" (national division) competed for the most beautiful chapel in the Co-Cathedral. The result: interiors covered in gold, marble and masterpieces of painting.
From June to September every village in Malta celebrates its "festa" — the patron saint's feast. Churches open wide, streets are adorned with lights, bands play, and fireworks illuminate the sky. It's the best time to see Maltese baroque in its full splendour.
