Valletta is only a small part of the Malta experience. Hop on a bus and head out to the smaller towns to explore a whole different urban experience.
Mdina's citadel has a history going back to the Phoenicians. The current name dates from the Arab times meaning "walled city". With its city walls and shady streets, it has a nickname of "silent city".
The ditch around the city walls was dug by the Knights of St. John in the 15th century.
St. Paul's Cathedral dates from the late 17th and early 18th century. Inside, the floors are covered with tombstones of important Maltese nobles and church officials.
Walking further away from the gate are more narrow alleys that were quiet in the early morning.
The Piazza tas-Sur opens up with a wonderful view of the north.
