Couldn't see much in detail, bc had very little time, but it was really beautiful and suggestive. It's story, it's status, it's religion, it's culture, it's heritage: all of these together. A "must visit" in Valletta.
In the current austerity crisis I found this building a sickening example of the church displaying its wealth instead of melting down its gold and silver to fight world poverty. Not form me this one, it is just morally wrong,

A beautiful building inside and out. Some chapels are reserved for prayer or are undergoing work and thus one cannot tour them, but those are few. Between the church proper and the museum, there is plenty to see. The audio guide was helpful but many items/locations inside also have information posted so I didn't feel like I was missing out...
