Mdina or Citta Notabile was the old capital of Malta. It is surrounded by high bastions on the top of a hill and far from the sea, a good strategy for defensive purposes. It is also commonly called The Silent City.
Mdina is a small fortified city with a mainly medieval character, but also containing significant Baroque buildings, such as St. Paul's Cathedral. The 17th century baroque cathedral is the mother of all churches of Malta. Flanked by two palaces of the same style of architecture, the Cathedral is evidently a dominant structure within the old city of Mdina.
