Valletta, Malta’s Capital
Marble tombstones of important knights in the nave of of St. John’s Co-Cathedral. The more important knights were placed closer to the front of the church. These tombstones, richly decorated with in-laid marble and with the coats of arms of the knight buried below as well as images relevant to that knight, often telling a story of triumph in battle.
