Malta (part 3)

Our next stop is the old medieval city of Mdina. Located in the center of Malta island, Mdina reaches 200m at its peak and can be seen from miles around.
Let's enter the city by its most beautiful gate...

Mdina is like a maze and it is just very relaxing to just wander in the streets.

We visited Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul's cathedral. The outside is very simple whereas inside (sorry, no pix, it was forbidden) is in a very exuberant baroque style.

The cathedral museum is really interesting and contain a splendid collection of woodcuts and copperplates by the great German artist Albrecht Durer.

Mdina is also renowned for its glasswork:

Just outside Mdina, there is a crafts village located in the warehouses of the disused malta airport. You can see craftmen working, which is quite impressive, especially the glasswork and the jewellery.
