Tour of Mosta, Ta’ Qali, and Mdina – The Noble City
Excursion Overview:
The tour will begin by heading to the town of Mosta, famous for its central church inspired by the Pantheon of Rome, built in the 18th century. The church became widely known throughout the country in 1942 when a bomb dropped during World War II failed to explode, saving the lives of about 300 people. This church boasts the third-largest dome in the world without central supports.
Next, you will visit the nearby village of Ta’ Qali, which was once a British outpost during World War II but is now a center for local craftsmanship. You will have the opportunity to observe artisans at work, creating elegant blown glass pieces, crafting intricate silver filigree jewelry, sculpting local stone, and much more. This is the perfect place to purchase souvenirs to remember your trip to Malta.
Finally, you will visit Mdina, Malta’s ancient capital, majestically standing atop a hill at the center of the island. Mdina is also known as “The Silent City” due to its narrow, quiet streets that offer a picturesque and welcoming atmosphere. Mdina is considered not only one of Malta’s most precious gems but also one of the best-preserved medieval fortifications. From its walls, you will enjoy magnificent views of the entire Maltese landscape. Here, you will have free time to relax and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the city.
