The ceiling of the chapel is awesome. One of the smaller churches I saw on Malta, but it felt just as faithful as all the rest.

Howard Gardens. I had several opportunities to walk the gardens or lower castle / walled city moat. The grounds were impeccable and very well maintained. Since it was January there were not many flowers blooming, but the foliage and tree that there were healthy.

The main gate is the way most people come into the old city but it is worth wandering around the side streets to find these other gates.

One of the main squares of Mdina old city, it has a wonderful century old feel and is a good place to unwind. My fiancee and I visited the old city to see the actual streets and buildings, not for checking out the filming locations of Game of Thrones.
