FEAST OF ST PAUL’S SHIPWRECK (7)

A general view of the inside of the Collegiate Parish Church of St Paul's Shipwreck. The church, one of the oldest in Valletta, was first built in 1570 by Girolamo Cassar with funds provided by the Cathedral church. The church was rebuilt between 1639 and 1679 and in 1733 it became a collegiate church. The facade was rebuilt in 1885 to the design of Nicola Zammit. The church hosts fine artistic works.
Thank you so much for looking at my pictures and for your kind comments on yesterday's.

@marlboromaam To answer your comment: I have been to that church at the time when least people are present. Service had to start at least 30 minutes later. Thanks for your comments.
