Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Mdina, Island of Malta
Graceful Mdina, the stately town known as the Silent City, holds court from the southwest corner of the captivating island of Malta. The commanding medieval Old City perches on its rocky promontory, its fortified bastions looming above the azure waters of the Mediterranean. This enchanting Maltese city offers a warren of narrow streets, populated by churches, palaces and gracious houses, punctuated by large squares and delightfully free of cars in its UNESCO-designated ancient quarters.

A very interesting place and an involving excursion! I really liked Palazzo Falson. I had no intention to visit it when I came to Mdina . It was just a see-and-walk-in experience for me but I’m really happy I did it. It’s a cute palazzo and the story and lifestyle of Olof Gollcher, the last owner of the place whom I would call a proto-hipster is quite amazing. The rooftop cafe is a great spot to relax and enjoy oneself.

I am so glad we found this museum. It has a great collection, including two series of Dürer prints from 1505 or so, statues of the Apostles and Christ in silver - stunning - and many other treasures. There is also an amazing 14th century Venetian 'altar stone' ... and so much else. Worth going for the Dürer room alone, but there is much else that is worth dwelling over. They should be publishing a book soon of the museum treasures; website is written on the first page of the museum diagrams. VERY much worth seeing.
