Rabat and Mdina

tn_rabat

Mdina is called “the silent city”. Maybe the name comes from the fact that cars have restricted access. Maybe it is because the island’s gentry and nobility have adopted Mdina as their “capital” and their closed and silent doors are a defence against the constant and regular change of ownership and customs that Malta has witnessed over the thousands of years of its history.

From the Romans to the Saracens, then to the Normans, on to The Knights of the Order of St John, the French and the English – many nations have had a hand in forging what we see now as Malta.
