35. St. Paul's Grotto & Harbor

In Malta, where Paul was shipwrecked and brought the Gospel to the island (Acts 28:1-10), we explore the rich Christian heritage that flourished in his wake. The magnificent St. John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta, with its breathtaking Baroque architecture and Caravaggio’s masterpiece, "The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist," stands as a testament to Malta’s deep faith. Nearby, the Church of St. Paul’s Shipwreck honors the Apostle’s arrival, preserving relics, including a piece of the ship’s anchor, connecting visitors to this pivotal moment in Christian history. In Rabat, St. Paul’s Grotto—a quiet sanctuary believed to have sheltered the Apostle during his time on the island—offers a place of reflection, reminding us of the enduring power of faith that took root in Malta and spread beyond its shores.
