Introducing Mdina & Rabat
Elegant, aristocratic Mdina (aptly nicknamed the Silent City) is perched on a rocky outcrop in the country’s southwest. Fortified for over 3000 years, it was Malta’s old political centre; today visitors can spend hours wandering the quiet, narrow streets. Rabat is the town settlement outside the walls.

Mdina’s main square is dominated by St Paul’s Cathedral (Pjazza San Pawl; admission free; 9.30am-11.45pm & 2-5pm Mon-Sat, 3-4.30pm Sun), worth visiting for the huge fresco of St Paul’s shipwreck. Outside Mdina’s Greek’s Gate, Domus Romana (2145 4125; Wesgħa tal-Mużew; adult/child Lm2.50/0.75; 9am-5pm) is a museum incorporating the remains of a Roman townhouse (from the 1st century BC) and featuring impressive mosaics.
