Ars moriendi
St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta.
The tombstone of Joachim Navarro, the librarian to the Knights Hospitaller (Order of St. John, Knights of Malta).
The polychrome marble inlaid floor is one of the many baroque splendours of the St. John's Co-Cathedral, the former conventual church of the Knight Hospitallers in Valletta, Malta.
Spread over the grand floor of the church, the rich designs, colours, textures and exquisite veining of 383 marble ledger stones create the effect of a painting. The Co-Cathedral is lavishly paved with the finely crafted tombstones of high-ranking Knights of the Order of St. John, who lived and died in Malta during the Order’s reign over the island from the 16th to the 18th century.
