7. The chapel of the Langue of Germany
The chapel of the Langue of Germany was dedicated to the Epiphany and included knights not only from Germany but also from Austria, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands. The paintings hanging in this chapel are the work of the Maltese artist Stefano Erardi and date to the late 17th century. The altarpiece depicts the Adoration of the Magi (the moment when, according to the Bible, the three wise men from the East came to Jerusalem guided by a bright star to the place of Christ’s birth).
