The Highlights of Malta: Mosta – Naxxar- Mdina – Rabat HALF DAY TRIP
Half day guided tour dedicated to Malta’s inner heart with most important town centres MOSTA, NAXXAR, RABAT and MDINA .
Included visit to the church in Mosta, whose dome, third largest unsupported dome in the world, is of remarkable size and can be distinguished from far from every panoramic outlook.
We proceed to Naxxar for a visit to the 18th century baroque Palazzo Parisio, an outstanding example of a Maltese stately home with Lombardy furniture, stucco friezes, painted ceilings, Carrara Marbles, and exquisite gardens.
We then head to Mdina and Rabat, both parts of Malta’s former capital.
First, we will visit Rabat with its fascinating underground St Paul’s Catacombs, which served as a burial ground from Punic and Roman times and are the earliest and largest archaeological evidence of Christianity in Malta.
After a short break with some local street food, we conclude the day with a brief orientation tour in Mdina, old capital and the world’s finest example of a medieval walled city that is still inhabited. After our orientation tour, you will have some time on your own to wander around in this time capsule of medieval palazzi and windy narrow streets (pleasantly shadowy even in summer!) and to be completely captivated by Mdina’s charme.
