Mdina, the former capital of Malta, is a beautifully preserved medieval walled city perched on a hilltop. Known as the 'Silent City' for its quiet, car-free streets, it offers visitors a journey back in time. Wander through narrow alleys lined with honey-colored limestone buildings, visit St. Paul's Cathedral, and enjoy panoramic views from the bastions. The city's blend of Norman and Baroque architecture, along with its peaceful atmosphere, makes it a must-see destination in Malta.
