Mdina Old City

Travel Guide

As a typical walled city, Mdina's immense ancient ramparts give the town a fairy-tale charm. Known as the Cittadella, the town's fortifications date back to the Medieval Period when the city was ruled by the Arabs and Normans. 

The town's elegant Main Gate, designed by de Mondion, was built in 1724 in splendid Baroque style. It is an excellent example of Baroque design. The escutcheon bears a coat of arms, and statues of growling lions stand proudly in the front of the gate. Enter this dramatic doorway to leave the 21st century behind.
