Mdina is a historic city located in the heart of Malta. With origins dating back to the 8th century BCE, this magnificent hilltop city is surrounded by fortified walls and offers a rich array of historical attractions. Often referred to as "the Silent City," tranquil Mdina is an ideal place to admire architectural gems such as the Vilhena Gate and St. Paul's Cathedral, both outstanding examples of Baroque design. A highlight is The Knights of Malta, an immersive multimedia experience that transports visitors back to the 16th century. The National Museum of Natural History, housed in the 18th-century Vilhena Palace, also features fascinating exhibitions. Just beyond Mdina, in the neighbouring town of Rabat, visitors can explore St. Paul's Catacombs - the island's largest Roman underground cemetery complex.
