St John’s Co-Cathedral is a historical landmark and a place of worship located in Valletta, Malta. In the late 16th century, the Co-Cathedral was built to serve as the Conventual Church of the Order of the Knights of St John, dedicated to their patron saint, St John the Baptist. The Church was designed by Girolamo Cassar and over the years the interior was enriched with the finest works of art.
Today, the Co-Cathedral is managed by The St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation. The Foundation is composed of three members appointed by the Archbishop of Malta and another three members appointed by the Office of the Prime Minister. In 2001 the Foundation was established to administer and conserve the Co-Cathedral and its Museums. Its mission revolves around ensuring the effective conservation and management of this architectural monument and sacred place of worship.
Since its establishment, The St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation has been entrusted with the custodianship of Malta’s artistic treasures while welcoming thousands of visitors annually. It is the duty of the Foundation to manage and preserve the Co-Cathedral to be cherished for generations to come. Research, cultural knowledge and community engagement are promoted by the Foundation.
