Chess Tour 2008: St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral, Valletta

St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral is a remnant of British occupation of Malta. It was commissioned by Queen Adelaide when she discovered
there was no Anglican place of worship. It was built between 1839-1844 and is part of the Church of England's Diocese of Europe with
its cathedral at Gibraltar. There are two other Anglican churches in the country.
