Guido, I wish that Lapo, you, and I, Could be caught up by a magic spell Placed in a ship, with the winds to fly Over the sea as we wished, as well: So that no tempest, no dark sky, Might oppose us with its barrier. Existing with but one desire The wish would grow, to stay together.
Dante Alighieri

The floor contains 400 tombs of the great Knights of Malta, decorated with polychrome marble and bearing the knights' emblems. (via)

Today it’s all about St John Co-Cathedral
It is a Roman Catholic co-cathedral dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. It was built by the Order of St. John between 1572 and 1577. The church was designed by the Maltese architect Girolamo Cassar, who designed several of the more prominent buildings in Valletta.
The cathedral's exterior is built in the Mannerist style typical of its architect Girolamo Cassar. Its façade is rather plain but well-proportioned, being bounded by two large bell towers. Overall, the exterior is rather austere and reminiscent of a fortress, reflecting both Cassar's style as a military engineer as well as the Order's mood in the years following the Great Siege of Malta in 1565.
So much so that I didn’t even take a picture of the exterior. But the interior…..
