Mdina

Mdina, situated on a huge hill in central Malta, is a sturdy medieval town encircled by castles. The town is the historic capital of Malta, and it is certainly a wonderful town with tiny, unpopulated valleys and breathtaking views of the island. Mdina is known as "The City of Silence" by Maltese residents and visitors since no automobiles are allowed in the city, and the town provides a calm ambiance for visitors wandering through its tiny streets and alleyways.


Mdina is a tiny town with a population of roughly 250 people living in an area of 0.9 square kilometers. Outside the city walls, however, the hamlet of Rabat, which has a population of over 11,000 people, is just a short distance away. Mdina, a medieval town with a combination of Norman and Baroque architecture, is home to a number of palaces, including the enormous and notable St. Paul's Cathedral in the town's main plaza.


Around 700 BC, the Phoenicians first settled and fortified Mdina, which was then known as Maleth. Mdina enjoys a favorable location on the island's highest point, away from the sea. The Roman ruler erected his palace at Mdina during the Roman Empire, and it is supposed that St. Paul was there after being shipwrecked in Malta. Due to extensive damage caused by an earthquake in 1693, it was essential to remodel portions of the city. The Knights of Malta renovated the church, as well as the Magisterial Palace and Palazzo Falzon, using Baroque styles.


It is worth noting that tourists visiting one of the Most Beautiful Historical Sites in Malta are often mistakenly mistaken for the standing gate at the entrance today as not the original entrance. The original entrance to the left of a bridge was subsequently built so that cars and residents could enter Mdina about 100 meters.


This attraction gives visitors the perfect start to their day in Malta to travel through time and recreate tragedies and triumphs that have unfolded before your eyes in a thriller. It is very interesting that visitors should visit Mdina after dark. Wander around the Old Capital Mdina to learn facts about important buildings, listen to some fascinating stories and gossip about the history of the heart of Malta's 7,000-year history, or walk around the kids Mdina's narrow, winding medieval road is truly an unforgettable experience.
