About this audio guide
This guide to St Paul's Pro-Cathedral in Valletta looks up into the bell tower above you, where six bells cast in London in eighteen forty-five hang in a wooden frame. It reaches back to Queen Adelaide and the Anglican church she commissioned on the site of the German knights' lodge, and to the English team pastime those bells were hung for. Best heard on West Street, looking up at the tower before the Sunday service.
