Tourist Guide Mdina
Mdina is located in the centre of the island of Malta, the largest island of the Republic of Malta. This small settlement of approximately 250 inhabitants is the island’s old capital.
The region enjoys a Mediterranean climate. The average temperatures in summer are 30°C with absolutely no rain. Winters are mild with heavy rainfall; during spring, some strong winds blow over the region making the weather quite chilly.
Mdina is believed to have been inhabited more than 5000 years. Since it is located on the highest point on the island it was fortified almost 2500 years ago as it served as a vantage point to spot invaders.
Today, Mdina is a quiet village with narrow streets and alleys; only limited cars are allowed in the city centre. This medieval town is even referred to as the Silent City.
