Mdina was once the capital of Malta, a unique city that managed to preserve a medieval appearance, a city-museum. Climbing to the very top of the hill, sheltering from the encroachments of the enemies outside the walls of the fortress, the city still remains inhabited, giving shelter to 500 Maltese. True narrow streets are always full of people, hovered between the old houses and the delightful cathedrals, the most striking of which is the Sicilian-Norman Cathedral of St. Paul, decorated with engravings by Albrecht Durer.

An eerie journey awaits those who dare visit the Museum of Torture: all about the theory and practice of medieval tortures. The entrance will cost in lyre. More lyrical and calm with respect to the spectacles of the Museum of Natural History in the palace built by the Grand Master De Vilhena.

Despite the influx of tourists, Mdina is usually called the City of Silence. The story of The Mdina Experience, which regularly takes place on Mesquita Square, will best describe the difficult history of this settlement.

Machines here do not go much, and try to fit into such small dimensions. Only those who live there can visit the old city at all. The remaining cars must be parked. Here, even in the concept of "street ... Read the whole review
