The Anglican Pro-Cathedral of St. Paul was commissioned by the Dowager Queen Adelaide the widow of King William IV after she had visited Malta. The foundation stone was laid by Queen Adelaide on March 20, 1839 and the limestone cathedral was completed in 1844. It was designed in the Neo-classical style by British architect William Scamp.
On the north side the cathedral features a portico with Ionic order columns. The east side has both Ionic Columns and similar pilasters. The landmark feature of the church is a 65 meter high steeple adjacent to Marsamxett Harbor which is a prominent feature of the Valletta skyline.
On February 9, 2017 a project to restore the cathedral and the steeple was launched with the aim of collecting €3,000,000. The church building is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.
