| Abstract: | The surge of cultural and religious tourism which has permeated Malta since the late 1990s has been the catalyst for a new and professional approach to the holistic management of St John's Co-Cathedral, as befits this impressive place of worship and historical monument of international standing. In achieving this aim, the Catholic Church in Malta and the Government of the Republic have succeeded in hammering out a historic compromise to bypass the long-standing controversy regarding the ownership of the Co-Cathedral and establish, by the public deed of July 2001, the St John's Co-Cathedral Foundation as an independent body to manage and administer this prime Baroque monument and its priceless art collection. |
