Golden doorknob in Mdina the old capital of Malta.

---

When the Order of Saint John arrived in Malta on 26 October 1530 Mdina soon lost its status as capital of the islands which it had probably since prehistoric times. Als die Johanniter am 26 Oktober 1530 nach Malta kamen, verlor Mdina bald darauf den Titel der Hauptstadt, den die heute keine 300 Einwohner nmehr zählende Stadt wohl bereits seit vorgeschichtlicher Zeit hatte.
