Mdina is known as Malta's "Silent City". It is a beautifully preserved, walled, medieval city on Malta's highest and most defensible point. It is a very popular spot with tourists and houses some amazing historical buildings. The entrance is across a deep moat (now a volleyball court) and through a decorative archway. You can walk around its narrow streets or take one of the "karozzini", Maltese carriages.

Mdina is known for its ornate door-knockers (yes, really) and torches placed beside the doors - replicas of medieval street lights. The Cathedral is what most visitors have come to see. There has been a church here since at least the 12th century. The cathedral has a sumptuous interior - frescoes on the ceilings, and paintings depicting the life of St Paul who was shipwrecked on the island of Malta. Malta, Mdina, Cathedral of St Paul - Malta.
