Demolished or destroyed.
St. Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, Malta, is a Catholic cathedral dedicated to St. Paul the Apostle, traditionally founded on the site where the Roman governor Publius met him after his shipwreck. Severely damaged in the 1693 Sicily earthquake, it was dismantled and rebuilt in the Baroque style to a design by the Maltese architect Lorenzo Gafà between 1696 and 1705. It is regarded as Gafà's masterpiece and serves as the seat of the Archdiocese of Malta, a role it shares with St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta.
