St John's Co-Cathedral Museum

Highlights

  • Intricate Baroque decoration fills the interior: gilded columns, painted barrel ceilings, carved marble tomb covers and richly furnished side chapels.
  • The layout is compact, so exhibits sit close together and groups often gather at the main highlights.
  • The site includes interpretive displays and a short introductory film, plus visible conservation work that explains how pieces are cared for.
  • Photography without flash is permitted in most areas, and modest dress is required in line with church etiquette.
