- The Chapel Of The Knights Of Malta In St.
Petersburg. The Emperor Paul I. had given a palace in St. Petersburg to
the Knights of Malta, and permitted them at the same time to erect a
Catholic chapel. At that time Giacomo Quaranghi lived in St. Petersburg
(born in 1744 at Bergamo, and died there in 1820), and the knights
applied to him for a design for the chapel, which would certainly have
been very beautiful if they had executed the portico he designed. But
instead of this, the building, founded on the 23d of August, 1798,
received a facade which is represented in fig. 11, which has four
Corinthian half columns, and two small columns with a gable as door
ornament; fig. 10 represents the ground plan and the manner in which
the chapel is united with the palace, and fig. 12 the lateral section
of the chapel. The interior is in the basilica form, ending in a large
apsis. Two rows of yellow marble columns divide the church into three
aisles 51 feet high. The breadth of the chapel is 50 feet, its length
100 feet.
