St Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, Malta, is a magnificent example of Baroque architecture and a key religious site on the island. Dedicated to Saint Paul, who is said to have been shipwrecked on Malta in 60 AD, the cathedral stands on the site where the Roman governor Publius is believed to have met the Apostle. The current structure was completed in the early 18th century, following a devastating earthquake in 1693 that destroyed the previous Norman church. Designed by the renowned Maltese architect Lorenzo Gafà, the cathedral features an impressive façade, intricate interior decorations, and exquisite frescoes.
