Palazzo, Mdina

Mdina, a fortified medieval town enclosed by bastions, located on a large hill in the centre of Malta, overlooking all of Malta from one of the highest points of the island. The town was Malta’s old capital from antiquity to the medieval period, and with its narrow streets, few inhabitants and beautiful views over the Island, it is truly a magical and beautiful town to explore and reside in.
Mdina is referred to as the “Silent City” by Maltese and visitors alike - no cars (with few exceptions) have permission to enter the town, which conveys a relaxing atmosphere when walking its narrow streets and alleyways. The medieval town of Mdina presents a mix of Norman and Baroque architecture and houses many palaces, most of which today serve as private homes. Among the many churches in the town, the largest and most striking is the Cathedral of the Conversion of St. Paul, founded in the 12th century, located in the main square of the town. For visitors wishing to learn more about the region’s history, the National Museum of National History has plenty on offer. And after a long day reward yourself with superb dining at the Bacchus Restaurant or the De Mondiaon.
