Floor of St. John's Co-Cathedral (1572-1577 AD) in Valletta, Malta 🇲🇹, is composed of nearly 400 tombstones of Knights and officers of Order of St. John of Jerusalem...
Each tombstone is inlaid by a colored marble slab bearing crest, coat-of-arms and epitaph of buried Knight.

Church was designed by Maltese architect Girolamo Cassar. In 17th Century AD, its interior was redecorated in Baroque style by Mattia Preti and other artists. Interior of church is considered to be one of finest examples of high Baroque architecture in Europe.
