As you weave through narrow, winding streets, your local English-speaking guide will introduce you to the city’s medieval and Baroque architecture. Your main stop, Bastion Square is a beautiful vantage point with quaint stone-paved alleys. Just 250 meters away lies St. Paul's Cathedral, a stunning limestone masterpiece with an octagonal dome.
Want to know a fact that's as mysterious as it is intriguing? Due to the capital being shifted to Vittoriosa, Mdina became a ghost town for a while, earning it the moniker of 'Silent City'.
