The Timeless City, Mdina Fortress in Malta

A review of Mdina Fortress, the former capital of Malta. True to its nickname, 'The Silent City,' it offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
✨ Why is Mdina special?
* A Journey to the Middle Ages: Within its high walls, medieval and Baroque architecture are perfectly preserved. Walking through its narrow, winding alleys feels like traveling back in time.
* Quiet Charm: As it is still a residential area, it remains quiet even during the day. Unlike the bustling Valletta, Mdina exudes a different kind of historic tranquility.
* Panoramic Views: Head to Bastion Square at the edge of the fortress. From there, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of three-quarters of the island of Malta. The sunset is particularly stunning.
* Must-Visit Spots: Take a photo at the grand Mdina Gate, explore the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral, and don't forget to try the famous chocolate cake at Fontanella Tea Garden nearby!
Mdina offers a unique opportunity to experience Malta's deep history and beauty, distinct from Valletta.
