Built between 1573 and 1577, this cathedral contains two masterpieces by Caravaggio. The Co-cathedral of San Juan is a jewel of Baroque art and architecture. This church is to this day an important sanctuary and a sacred place of worship. It is also the scene of cultural events. The construction was commissioned in 1572 by Grand Master Jean de la Cassière to serve as the convent church of the Knights of Malta and designed by the Maltese military architect Gerolamo Cassar. The oratory houses the largest and only signed masterpiece by Caravaggio.

Named Upper Barrakka and Lower Barrakka, both gardens offer a breathtaking view of the Grand Harbour.

In the center of the Lower Barrakka Gardens is a monument dedicated to Captain Ball.
