Enter one of Valletta's oldest churches, holding the marble pillar upon which St Paul was allegedly beheaded, as well as a wrist bone said to belong to the saint, this beautiful church is situated on a side street away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Although the church's facade belongs to the 19th century, having been rebuilt in 1885, its interior is distinctly 16th century. The building houses a number of treasures, which include a stunning gilded statue of St Paul, carved in 1659, and an impressive altarpiece by Matteo Perez d'Aleccio.
