OKAY, HERE’S THE STORY

Set the scene.

St Paul’s Anglican Pro-Cathedral was built between 1839 and 1844. Queen Adelaide supported its construction and paid the final cost.

Here’s the twist.

The consecration took place on 1 November 1844. The church adds a different religious chapter to Valletta’s skyline.

Why it still matters.

Names can be confusing: this St Paul’s is in Valletta. Mdina’s Metropolitan Cathedral, also dedicated to St Paul, is a different building.
