Mdina

Mdina's Timeless Essentials

Mdina, Malta’s fortified medieval capital, contains a dense concentration of Baroque and Norman architecture within its bastions. This selection features the 17th-century St Paul’s Cathedral and the Vilhena Palace, which houses the National Museum of Natural History. Visitors can explore the city’s defensive history through the Mdina Dungeons and the landscaped gardens of Il-Foss tal-Imdina. The list also includes the historic Monastery of St Peter and Howard Gardens, which bridge the gap between the Silent City and neighboring Rabat.
