Me in Mdina Malta

Me in Mdina MaltaI didn’t think it twas any big deal. It was simply listed on the map as Mdina. I thought I’d go see it. I’m glad I did. Sometimes I know that I don’t research as well as I should. I know I didn’t research Malta as well as I should have, I’m just glad I went there.

Mdina is a fortress. It was the original capital of Malta. There is some evidence that people have lived on the site for some 4,000 years. It is thought that the Phoenicians built the first fortifications on the site almost 3,000 years ago. Some people believe that the Apostle St. Paul lived here after a shipwreck on the island.

Today, it’s a walled city that is a carryover from the medieval period. It’s really beautiful. It’s beautiful from a distance. It’s beautiful once you’re in the walls. It’s not very big. You can get lost in it quite quickly, but it’s fairly easy to find your way back out again. Someone’s taken a lot of effort to preserve it. It’s probably a lot nicer today than it was in the 13th century. I would have to assume that you’d have to pay quite a bit of money to afford to live there. While I like the picture someone took of me there, I really like some of the other pictures I’ve seen of Mdina.
