Defined as the noble city, the ancient capital of Malta is a city with 4000 years of history. Mdina is separated from Rabat by a large ditch; its structure and streets have remained unchanged for a thousand years. It was between 1090 and 1530 that the main palaces and some of the most beautiful buildings in the Sicilian-Norman style were built. As time went by and the Knights settled in Valletta, Mdina became the ‘silent city’ where the Maltese nobility resided. Its high walls, closed gates and endless staircases have allowed it to preserve its mysterious, aristocratic and medieval charm until today.

A city of unspoiled and stunning beauty, it offers an impressive concentration of historical sites.
