| Abstract: | The Church of St. James in Merchants Streets, Valletta, once belonged to the Langue of Castille. A marble inscription in the sacristy states that it was first built in 1612, mainly at the expense of the Grand Chancellor Fra Pietro Gonzales de Mendoza. Chevalier Francesco Antella’s drawing of Valletta which appears in Giacomo Bosio’s Istoria della Sacra Religione di S. Giovanni Gerosolimitano shows that a church dedicated to St.James already existed on the same site before that date. |
