St. Paul - VALLETTA (MALTA)

(Reference: 3426)


Construction date 1885
Author Nicola Zammit
Description The church traces its origins to 1570s. Although the church of the Dominican fathers had already been declared a parish of Valletta, the Cathedral Chapter insisted on having a church of its own from where to administer sacraments to the inhabitants.

The church was reconstructed in 1609 but was demolished in 1639. The plans of the new church were prepared by Bartolomeo Garagona. The facade was rebuilt in 1885 to the design of Nicola Zammit.

The façade has two belfries with one and five bells.
