About this

Mdina is a small, fortified city in the center of Malta that served as the island’s capital until the arrival of the Knights of Malta in the sixteenth century. Its narrow, stone-paved streets are lined with Baroque palaces and churches, many of which remain private residences, giving the town a quiet, lived-in character. The thick defensive walls and a wide moat separate it from the surrounding countryside, and several of the original gates still control access. Limited vehicle traffic keeps noise levels low, and most visitors explore on foot. A handful of museums and a cathedral occupy former aristocratic buildings, while cafés and small shops occupy ground-floor spaces along the main thoroughfare.
