This Is What St John’s Co-Cathedral Bells Look Like Up Close
Local
Maltese Photographer Marika Caruana climbed the narrow spiral staircase of St John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta to capture close up photos of the church’s bells and their mechanisms.
99 steps above Malta’s capital city, the massive bronze bells date back to the Order of St John in the 17th and 18th Centuries, making them beautiful symbols of Malta’s long history and culture.
Restored in the early 2000s, the bells still ring out across Valletta, now in harmony with the new Carola Francisca bell added to the cathedral in 2025.
