ehemaliger Galeerensklave, Großmeister des Malteserordens und "Schild Europas", Namensgeber einer Stadt auf Malta.

Grabinschrift:

Here lies La Valette.

Worthy of eternal honour,

He who was once the scourge of Africa and Asia,

And the shield of Europe,

Whence he expelled the barbarians by his Holy Arms,

Is the first to be buried in this beloved city,

Whose founder he was.
