St Paul's Pro-Cathedral

St Paul's Pro-Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral located in Independence Square. It serves as the seat of the Anglican Diocese in Europe. Visitors typically go to see its architecture and the interior religious art, or to attend services.

Getting There

The cathedral is located in the heart of Valletta. Since it is situated in the city centre, it is accessible by foot from most central hotels and tourist hubs. From the main bus terminus in Valletta, it is a short walk of approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

Visit Duration

Most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes exploring the interior and the surrounding square.

When to Visit

Visiting during the morning hours allows for a quieter experience before the midday peak. While it does not typically experience the same level of crowding as the larger co-cathedrals, it is advisable to avoid visiting during major religious services if you wish to explore the building freely.
