A monotone, sepia view of a narrow medieval street in Mdina, Malta. Malta's old capital, Mdina is also known as the Silent City.


Mdina, Città Vecchia, or Città Notabile was the old capital of Malta. Mdina is a medieval walled town situated on a hill in the centre of the island. Punic remains uncovered beyond the city’s walls suggest the importance of the general region to Malta’s Phoenician settlers. Mdina is commonly called the "Silent City" by natives and visitors. The town is still confined within its walls, and has a population of just over three hundred, but it is contiguous with the village of Rabat, which takes its name from the Arabic word for suburb, and has a population of over 11,000. *** Description sourced from Wikipedia.
