Mdina was Malta's capital long before Valletta. Walk through the Main Gate into narrow streets of palaces, so quiet that it is called the silent city; the cathedral and its museum keep paintings and silver from the knights' time. Just outside the walls, Rabat has the Domvs Romana, a Roman town house with fine mosaic floors, and St Paul's and St Agatha's catacombs, where early Christians buried their dead under the town. Saint Paul, shipwrecked on Malta, is said to have lived in a grotto here. In late June the Mnarja festival fills Buskett woods with rabbit stew, bread and folk singing. Further south, the Dingli Cliffs drop straight into the sea – the highest point of the island.
