Behind its walls on a ridge in the middle of Malta, Mdina keeps palaces, a baroque cathedral and almost no noise.

Die Geschichte von Mdina

People have lived on this hill for thousands of years; the Romans called it Melite, the Arabs gave it walls and the name Mdina, the walled city. Noble Maltese families built their palaces here and stayed when the knights moved the capital to Valletta. Enter through the Main Gate, see the cathedral of Saint Paul, rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake, and the Cathedral Museum with its prints by Albrecht Dürer. Climb to Bastion Square for a view over half of Malta. Have tea and cake on the walls in the afternoon, and come back after dark when the lanterns are lit and the streets are empty.

  • 2,000+years as a town on the same hill
  • 1693an earthquake destroys the old cathedral
  • ~250people live inside the walls today

The gate that moved

Mdina's grand Main Gate is not where the old gate was.

Geschichte lesenSchließen

In 1724 Grandmaster Manoel de Vilhena rebuilt the entrance of Mdina in baroque style and moved it a few metres. Look at the wall to the right of today's gate: you can still see the outline of the old, bricked-up medieval gate.
