Mdina is the city of great historical significance, and not only in the history of Malta, but also in Greek and Arab history.
It brings you to the early Middle Ages and epochal transitions from the Antiquity to Catholicism. The city features the buildings of ancient architecture that pleasantly complement each other.
Mdina has the age of more than 4000 years, so, here you will literally plunge into the depths of the history across all the civilizations.

What to see in Mdina
Ramparts Garden is an amazing and very picturesque place that was not once a venue of many cinematic shootings, like of the famous "Game of Thrones". Its powerful buildings from the times of knights are so much in harmony with nature that they even seem to be alive themselves.
The Parliament building strikes the imagination with its scale, simplicity of geometric shapes and amazing medieval interior inside.
Bastionsquare is a place from which you can observe the view of exactly the same Mdina as the ancient Greeks saw it and as it will remain in your memories.
St. Paul Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral with mesmerizing architecture of Gothic and classical medieval style.
Mdinaditch garden is a wonderful, quiet and peaceful place and is the central park of Mdina. The most amazing here is the multitude of knights' buildings and mini-castles around huge ancient trees.
Palazzo de Piro is an exquisite restored palace that houses the Metropolitan Cathedral Museum and the Museum of Tools, Trade and Traditions.
If it is summer, you can also enjoy a breathtaking view of the island at Xpresso Cafe and Bistro, located on the ground floor of the palace and ideal for coffee, tea, lunch or dinner.
You can lavishly end your day in Mdina with a dinner at "de Mondion" right here at Triq San Pawl, a unique restaurant, located in this ancient castle. It offers exquisite, surprisingly delicious degustation dishes. The interior, summer terraces and dishes in this exquisite restaurant are especially charming due to the atmosphere of Mdina itself.
One of the most unusual hotels in Malta, Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux is located in the same castle.
This is a luxury boutique hotel based in Medina. The history of this place is inseparable from the history of Mdina, as the walls of the palace are part of the walls of the fortress surrounding the city on the top of the hill. The palace was built in the 17th century as a residence for the noble family Moscati Parisio
Mdina is the place where time seems to have stopped. I, personally, consider Mdina a real gem of Malta and a must-visit place once you are in Malta!
