De Sint-Janscokathedraal in Valletta is misschien wel de bekendste bezienswaardigheid op heel Malta. De 16-eeuwse kathedraal, geheel gebouwd in de barokstijl, is letterlijk en figuurlijk een stralend middelpunt. Dat komt onder andere door de vele, blinkende gouden versieringen die terug te vinden zijn in de kerk. De kathedraal is gebouwd voor de Maltezer Ridderorde tussen 1573 en 1578. De sobere voorgevel, die doet denken aan een doorsnee fort, wordt aan beide kanten bewaakt door klokkentorens. Zodra je binnenstapt schijnen de versieringen je tegemoet. Binnen in de kerk heeft ieder land dat vertegenwoordigd was in de orde een eigen kapel gekregen. Een laatste pronkstuk van de kathedraal is een schilderij dat de onthoofding van Johannes de Doper laat zien, geschilderd en gesigneerd door de welbekende schilder Caravaggio. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":589379,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tip_category":[3244],"class_list":["post-592339","tip","type-tip","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tip_category-bezienswaardigheden"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSint-Janscokathedraal is een bezienswaardigheid in Valletta<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Deze bijzondere barok kathedraal met talloze versieringen en een beroemd schilderij van Caravaggio is de moeite waard.
