Mdina, known as the Silent City, is a medieval walled town that served as Malta's ancient capital for over a thousand years. Its narrow, winding cobblestone streets, noble palaces, and Baroque churches create an enchanting atmosphere that seems frozen in time. With fewer than 300 residents and cars prohibited, the city retains its unique tranquility. It served as a filming location for Game of Thrones as King's Landing.
