Teave
Kiired faktid: Suure piiramise ajal 1565. aastal olevat kiriku imeline krutsifiks higistanud, mis andis lootust Malta kaitsjatele. Kirik teenis Johanniitide ordu peakirikuna 41 aastat, enne kui St. Johni kohtkatedraal valmis sai.
Esiletõstmised: Kiriku all asuvas krüptis on üks Euroopa paremini säilinud 1600. aastate orelitest, originaalsete piipude ja mehhanismiga, mis töötab siiani. Igal pühapäeval võid kuulda selle sügavat, sooja kõla täitmas võlvitud kiviseinu, nagu see on teinud üle 350 aasta.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Sit in the back pew for 5 minutes after arriving to experience the special acoustics and silence.
- Combine the visit with Inquisitor's Palace 100 meters away and Fort St. Angelo on the headland for a complete day in Vittoriosa.
- Ask the church warden if the crypt is open. Many visitors miss the 17th-century organ down there.
- Bring a flashlight to better see the details of Mattia Preti's painting, especially on overcast days.
