St. Paul's Cathedral, a 17th century masterpiece, is
an architectural gem in the centre of the medieval city of Mdina.
The cathedral was founded in the 12th century, and
according to tradition it stands on the site of where Roman governor Publius
met St. Paul following his shipwreck on Malta.
St. Paul's Cathedral is built in the Baroque style,
with some influences from native Maltese architecture. The cathedral has a
Latin cross plan consisting of a vaulted nave, two aisles and two side chapels.
The marble pavement includes tombstones that depict
the emblems of the Mdina bishops as well as other members of the clergy.
