Maison Medina’s Guide to Mdina

Nestled in a prime location, Maison Medina is your perfect getaway spot in Malta. Positioned directly in front of the enchanting old City of Mdina, our hotel is your ideal base for a historical adventure.

Mdina, often called the ‘Silent City’, Mdina’s narrow streets and timeless architecture stand as a testament to a bygone era, echoing the footsteps of the Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, and Knights of St. John who once walked its cobbled lanes.

The city’s captivating architecture, from the grand Mdina Gate to the majestic St. Paul’s Cathedral, reflects its storied past. With less than 300 residents, its tranquil ambience is a stark contrast to its bustling daytime tourist activities. Serving as both a living museum and a testament to Malta’s diverse heritage, Mdina remains an indispensable destination for history enthusiasts and travellers alike.
