The International Institute for Baroque Studies at the University of Malta will be holding a public lecture on the Architectural development of Maltese domes in the Baroque Age. The lecture, to be delivered by Kenneth Cauchi, will be held on Tuesday, 18 February at 6pm at the St Helen's Parish Centre Hall, Birkirkara (entrance through Sanctuary Street).

The lecture presents a study of the exterior and interior of the more important Maltese church domes, including those that were either destroyed during World War II or were modified over the years. It focuses on the architectural development of Maltese church domes spanning from the 16th to the 18th century, examining their construction and stylistic progress as well as the influence of foreign architects practising in Malta.
