St Paul's Cathedral in Mdina in Malta is believed to have been built on the site where St Paul met the Roman Governor after his shipwreck off Malta in 60 AD and its construction was started in the twelfth century and substantially rebuilt following an earthquake in the 17th and 18th century. Mdina was once the capital city of Malta before Valletta took the honour and is know as 'The Silent City'

Mdina is the ancient capital city of Malta and the walled city can trace it's history back more than 4000 years. It is believed that St. Paul lived inside the grotto know as Fuori le Mura (outside the city walls) now known as St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat. Lamp lit by night and referred to as "the silent city", Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures.

Mdina is a fortified city in the Northern Region of Malta which served as the island's capital from antiquity to the medieval period. The city is still confined within its walls, and has a population of just under 300, but it is contiguous with the town of Rabat, which takes its name from the Arabic word for suburb, and has a population of over 11,000 (as of March 2014)

The most common and beautiful sight in Mdina.

I discovered this gnarled tree in Mdina, Malta’s medieval capital. Mdina is one of Europe’s finest examples of an ancient walled city and unusual in its mix of medieval and Baroque architecture. Today Mdina has a quiet, restrained atmosphere in keeping with its noble past. Lamp lit by night, Mdina transforms itself into the ‘Silent City’. Malta is a small island situated south of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. Related shots can be found at Malta. You can view more shots of Trees or you can view all my Mediterranean shots.
