| Abstract: | One of the first religious buildings erected in Valletta was the Conventual Church of the Order of St. John now known as St. John's co-Cathedral. It was built between 1573 and 1577 to the designs of the Maltese architect Girolamo Cassar (1520 -1586) whose portrait is shown on the 1c3 stamp of the Prominent Maltese People set issued on 12th January 1974 (SG. 511). He is also shown on 2/6 value of IV Centenary of the Foundation of Valletta set (28th March 1966 - SG 370) examining plans of the Cathedral of which an exterior· view is shown. The cathedral was consecrated in 1578. It was built at the expense of Grand Master L 'Eve que de la Cassiere. [excerpt] |
