What to do and see in Mdina, Island of Malta: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

September 24, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

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 joint entrance fee of 5 euros to visit the Cathedral and the museum is good value.The awesome dome and marble panels are just some of the lovely things to behold.Nice to sit and reflect a while being surrounded by such beauty.

Mdina Metropolitan Cathedral Museum

The Mdina Cathedral museum is situated opposite the Mdina Cathedral in Archibishop's square. Amongst the collections found in the museum one can find the Silver collection, a complete collection of Albrecht Dürer prints, an extensive collection of Coins found in Malta, paintings by Maltese and period artists, as well as a number of temporary exhibitions.

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.
