Mdina,pronounced em-dee-nah, is a small walled city in Malta that dates back to Phoenician times. Thats 3000 years of heritage! Mdina means fortified place in Arabic. The Romans fortified the city as the population grew and suburbs began cropping up around it.

It was the Capitol up until the 1500's when the Knights of Malta chose Birgu/Vittorosia as the new capital. in the Great Siege of 1565 The Turkish army passed by Mdina and could have easily taken it as it was poorly defended. Story goes a local nun had this vision that called for a great procession praising god, and so every person in the town dressed up and paraded around the top of the walls. To the Turks this looked like Mdina was teeming with defenders, and so they left it alone and marched on Vittorosia and the rest of Malta.

It gets better though!

The Turks left their base camps fairly empty as they marched out, so a band of Mdina attacked and torched them. The Turks thought they were being significantly attacked from rear and retreated giving time for reinforcements to arrive and eventually drive them out. Awesome ! Take that you crazy Turks!

No offense if your Turkish because from you we get great roasted coffee, turkish delights, um.... bath houses, oh, and Atlantic Records' founder, Ahmet Ertegün and kebabs .... Stuff like that.

The view from Mdina wall is best described as "Commanding" as you can see the entire island from there. It's a small city extremely clean and stark with narrow maze like alleys . But don't worry, impossible to get lost for more than 30 seconds. It is referred to as "The Silent City" and it was pretty darn quite when I visited. Really ... quite. Worth it to go early before the busses of tourists arrive.
