During our tour in Mdina, the former capital of Malta and a place of great historical significance, we will visit the city walls, which offer a panoramic 360-degree view of the island. Then we will visit Mosta, a historic town in the center of Malta. The town is famous for the impressive Rotunda Church (Mosta Dome). This church, with the largest unsupported dome in Europe, is said to be miraculous because a bomb that fell inside during World War II did not explode. After the tour, our next stop will be Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing village.

Then we will visit the Three Cities (Vittoriosa – Senglea – Cospicua). With their narrow stone streets, walled structures, baroque churches, and seaside walking paths, these cities were the first areas settled by the Knights of Malta in the 16th century and formed the backbone of the island’s military defense line. Each carries traces of the knights, the Ottoman sieges, and Malta’s maritime history. After the tour, transfer to our hotel.
