We adventures by bus today to the town of Mdina. It is a beautiful walled medieval city which was the original capital of Malta.

We walked along the very narrow streets to the cathedral of St Peter and visited the museum there as well.  

The church inside was beautiful

The tomb markers in the floor were exquisitly crafted marbles! I’ve never seen any like them anywhere!  Beautiful! 

We toured the museum as well with many art works and alter pieces,  gold,  silver,  and relics.  The oldest bell in Malta, forged in 1309 on Venice is displayed there.  It is almost the size of Emmett.

2nd floor displays many paintings and furnishings

The other church was much smaller but elegantly decorated

From the ramparts of the city walls we could see the nearby city of Mosta and it’s rotunda.   I had seen it from the air as we approached Malta.  The countryside below is green and beautiful

The view of it on our arrival last week

The squares and street signs are porcelin!
