The Sanctuary at the Co-Cathedral. Incredibly rich Baroque style art all over the place.

The Beheading of St John the Baptist, by Caravaggio. The largest one he painted and the only one he signed.

The floor of the Co-Cathedral is full of inlaid marble tombstones of the Knights of St John.

A small glimpse of the armory at the Grand Master's Palace with medieval weapons and suits of armor all across the walls and in display cases.

Last bit of tourism as we wrap up #ADASS2024 (and then start the #IVOA interop). I got to visit St. John's Co-Cathedral with impressive Baroque interiors and Caravaggio paintings. Plus a visit to the Grand Master palace and its impressive armory of medieval weapons.

And now #ADASS2024 is coming to a close. Kai Polsterer shares that it's only 51 weeks until ADASSXXXV...

The final day of #ADASS2024 has come so quickly, alas!! Talks will be varied today, but we are starting with the theme Real-time and Near Real-time Processing Pipelines.

Ludwig Schwardt is opening the session with a presentation on The MeerKAT Science Data Processing Pipeline

A black sky with a dimly illuminated brick wall and bridge. The bridge leads up to a bright, large gate to enter Mdina.

A red (iron?) door leads to a former Grand Master's residence in Mdina.

Dimly lit walls in a narrow street under a black sky in the city of Mdina.

St. Paul's Cathedral in Mdina under a night sky.

Last night at #ADASS2024 was the conference dinner, which included a walking tour of Malta's "silent city"- Mdina. Brief, but informative! Parts of it have been used in movies and shows, including A Game of Thrones.
