MT - MALTA: St. Peter & Paul Cathedral at the historic City of Midina
St. Paul's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the ancient walled city of Mdina, in Malta. It was built on the site where governor Publius was reported to have met Saint Paul following his shipwreck off the Maltese coast. The architect Lorenzo Gafa designed the Cathedral in Baroque style. It sits at the end of a rectangular square. The near-square facade is cleanly divided in three bays by the Corinthian order of pilasters. There are two bell towers at the both corners. The plan is a Latin cross with a vaulted nave, two aisles and two small side chapels. The Cathedral has a light octagonal dome, with eight stone scrolls above a high drum leading up to a neat lantern.
