About the venue
St Augustine's Parish Church, Valletta
The Augustinian church in Valletta stands just off Merchants Street, its restrained exterior giving little away about the gilded altars and marble inside. The friars of the Augustinian Order have served here since the city was built, and the adjoining priory keeps a smaller chapel with its own pipe organ.
