Malta’s Silent City - Mdina

Malta’s silent city - Mdina. What an absolute treat this city is. Founded over 4000 years ago, it’s the oldest fortified city in Malta. From the minute you set eyes on this place, you can see why it’s one of Malta’s most popular tourist attractions. The best way to discover the city is to amble along and admire the stunning medieval and baroque architecture on display. There are no cars allowed within the city walls, only traditional horse and carriages. Make sure you make your way to the many alleyways and nooks that wind their way around the city. Look out for the beautiful doors and facades on display in front of many of the houses that line these streets. Some highlights of this town include the panoramic views all around Malta. Seeing as it’s situated on a hill in the centre of the island, there’s no better place for this! You’ll also want to check out the Carmelite Priory. It’s free to enter and the exquisite 17th century style interior is something to behold. And of course, you’ll want to spend some time exploring the fortified walls around the city. Not only do they provide some breathtaking aesthetics, they’ve also featured in many films and tv shows. For example, the city gate famously featured in an episode of Game of Thrones. #mdina #malta #travel #europe
