Γρήγορα στοιχεία: The interior dazzles with intricate Baroque art and grand marble floors that almost seem to shimmer under the candlelight. Knights of the Order of St. John used to worship here, adding an air of medieval prestige and ceremony.
Αξιοσημείωτα: Look closely at the stunning Caravaggio masterpiece "The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist," the only work he signed, illuminating the chapel with dramatic intensity. The grandiose vault ceilings burst with vivid frescoes that bring the walls to life like a colorful storybook of faith.
Εσωτερικές συμβουλές
- Wear comfortable shoes as the marble floor can be slippery and uneven.
- Bring a camera but be discreet and check restrictions on flash photography.
- Pause by the Caravaggio paintings for a quieter, more reflective experience.
- Skip peak midday hours; early or late visits are peaceful and less crowded.
