Description

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 a 16th Century bishop ordered priests in the cathedral to be beaten up. See the chapel where St Agatha once granted a miracle, 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; learn why a ghostly, lovesick bride photo-bombs happy couples in the city’s narrow streets; and 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.
