St. Paul's Church, Malta, Built at the Expense of the late Queen Dowager Adelaide, 1850. Creator: Unknown.

St. Paul's Church, Malta, Built at the Expense of the late Queen Dowager Adelaide, 1850. 'The first stone was laid by Queen Adelaide on the 20th of March, 1839, and the foundation was completed by the close of the year...No labour was spared by the superintendent architect to insure the durability of the edifice; and, though often with immense difficulty, every part of the foundation was based upon solid rock, which, in many instances, was found covered with 30 feet of rubbish. The main features of the exterior are a lofty portico facing N.E., and supported by six Ionic columns; and a tower and spire, 130 feet high, surmounted by a cross'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
