The city of Mdina strength is for people who love the old stone a place of visit.
Mdina (pronounced "imdina") is the ancient capital of Malta. It is a fortified city centre of the island, seat of the locality of the same name. Indeed Mdina means walled city in Maltese. It is nicknamed "The Silent City" because it is inhabited by 300 people, as a special fee applies for the inhabitants of "medieval towns, and cars are not allowed.

In this city, you can enjoy a view over the island.

Weapons of Mdina represent the colors red and white national colours become, crowned with towers representing the fortresses of the city.

There are only three doors Mdina, the main door, rebuilt after the Roman governor had decided to put his palace or was an old one, the door of English, built by the British in order to join the station the only railway line of Malta (now closed). The only Cathedral Malta, the Cathedral of Saint Paul, is located in the heart of Mdina.

Bonjour Christian,
Une bonne idee de cadrage pour presenter ces details et une vue bien exposee, toutefois il aurait ete bien de modifier legerement l'angle pour que la lanternese detache entierement sur le ciel.
Bonne journee JY
