Step back in time with this image of St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta, dating back to the 1910s. The photo showcases the stunning Baroque architecture of the church, with its intricately decorated facade and ornate details. The tall, imposing bell tower stands proudly at the entrance, drawing the eye upwards towards the clear blue sky. The square in front of the church is bustling with activity, as people go about their daily lives. Horse-drawn carriages and carts line the cobblestone streets, while men in traditional Maltese attire can be seen conversing in small groups. Women in long, flowing skirts and shawls walk along the pavement, some carrying baskets or shopping bags. The warm, golden sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The vibrant colors of the buildings surrounding the square add to the sense of vibrancy and energy. In the distance, the majestic Grand Harbour can be seen, with its impressive fortifications and ships anchored in the water. St. John's Co-Cathedral is a true architectural marvel and a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Malta. Built between 1573 and 1577, the church is renowned for its beautiful art and historical significance. The most famous work of art inside the church is the 'Beheading of St. John the Baptist' by Caravaggio, which is housed in the Oratory. This photograph captures the essence of Valletta in the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this beautiful Mediterranean island.
