With a whopping 359 churches, cathedrals and chapels across the Maltese Islands, the absolute devoutness of the Maltese is evident wherever you go. The focal point of every village is the churches.
As well as providing insight into the religious side of people’s lives, these ornate and intricately designed buildings are home to a jaw-dropping array of frescos, statues and other artistic masterpieces. Art aficionado or not, the numerous paintings by Caravaggio adorning the magnificent walls of Valletta’s Co-cathedral will leave you truly gob-smacked.
