Malta, Mdina Twenty Years Ago

Posted on May 24, 2015 | 11 Comments

Mdina is called the silent city because it is a quiet pedestrianised medieval walled city of golden coloured stone with twisting narrow streets, dead ends and crooked alleyways all of which lead inevitably to the centre piece of the cathedral of St Paul.

    The old photos are somehow that bit more interesting too, even if less well framed (mine at least), lower quality etc.

Were there a lot of significant changes in 20 years Andrew?

  It has been tidied up. A lot of new tourist attractions. Bit of a shame but as I have said before in 50 years people will say ‘you should have seen this place in 2015’. Time marches on.

    Yes the same could be said of much of Italy. Cinque Terre leaps to mind.
