Saint James Cavalier, Arts and cinema center in Valletta, Malta
Saint James Cavalier contains a 105-seat cinema screen, multiple art galleries, and performance spaces within a pentagonal stone structure in Valletta.
The Order of St John constructed this cavalier in the late 1500s under Francesco Laparelli's design and Girolamo Cassar's supervision as part of Valletta's defenses.
The center presents independent films, contemporary art exhibitions, and theatrical performances throughout the year in its dedicated screening room and galleries.
Visitors can access the facility near Upper Barakka Gardens from Wednesday to Sunday, with snacks available from vending machines and the downstairs cafeteria.
The building transformed from a military structure to a printing press before becoming a cultural center in 2000, receiving over one million visitors since its renovation.
