Overview

Mdina is a gem of the Maltese islands – but every diamond was rough at some point.

Learn why people used to spit on an ancient statue as they entered the city and why invading pirates once tried to trick the citizens of Mdina with free bread.

See the chapel where St Agatha once granted a miracle to save the city, and hear of the terrible crimes carried out by a rich man who wanted revenge on his lover.

You’ll also get to see where a huge pile of gold coins was found buried beneath Mdina, and learn why a ghostly bride photo-bombs happy couples in these narrow streets.

Finally, at the end of the tour, you’ll discover why a woman once rode a donkey through the city while being whipped.

All this, and more, on the Mysteries and Histories of Mdina tour.
