Collegiate Parish Church of St Paul's Shipwreck, Baroque parish church in Valletta, Malta

The church features two spires and seven bells, with a limestone facade designed by Nicholas Zammit constructed in 1885.

The original structure, designed by Girolamo Cassar, was completed in 1582 and later transferred to the Jesuit Fathers for their religious activities.

On February 10th each year, the wooden statue of Saint Paul, carved by Melchiorre Cafà in 1659, moves through the streets of Valletta.

Located at 74 St Paul Street, the church welcomes visitors daily from 7:00 to 18:00 without requiring an entrance fee.

The church preserves Saint Paul's right wrist bone and a section of the Roman column where he was reportedly beheaded in 67 AD.
