The Church Chaplaincy Council has entrusted AP with the restoration of this monument in 2017. There is no building in Malta more symbolic of the presence of the British on the island than St Paul's pro-Cathedral. Its elegant steeple is the most iconic element on the Valletta skyline, a lofty needle piercing the Mediterranean sky. The Church was commissioned by the Dowager Queen Adelaide who laid the foundation stone on 20 March 1839 on the site of the Auberge d'Allemagne. Damaged during WWII, restoration works were carried out based on the original designs of William Scamp. They incorporated a new pulpit dedicated to Sir Winston Churchill and a new Chancery that was inaugurated in 1949 in the presence of Princess Elizabeth.
Since then, the Cathedral has stood silently, a heroic testimony to the combined contribution of the Maltese and the British to great events of the last century.
