Description
We are delighted to offer a gorgeous and very rare to come by Medieval home in Mdina also known as Citta Notabile (‘Notable City’). This property offers a rare opportunity to reside in an ancient, fortified city founded in the 8th Century BC, located in the Northern Region of Malta which served as the Islands capital from antiquity to the medieval period. Few homes are as pretty or charming as this truly marvellous property. Just as magnificent as the house – perhaps even more so is its unparalleled position and views that it benefits from. The design of this enchanting home is classic and very tasteful to blend in with its historic surroundings. Entering through a magnificent reception hallway/foyer, visitors are welcomed by a large courtyard leading out onto a balcony with breathtaking views of the Maltese Islands. The 2-storey floor plan includes 2/3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and an impressive rooftop entertainment space and observation deck with views onto the baroque cathedral and more views reaching far beyond this fortified city. Downstairs one finds a large dining room and fully fitted and equipped kitchen besides the great entertainment space. The property benefits from an abundance of original features including high ceilings, wooden beams, stone floors, beautiful iron work etc. A true gem.

Local Information Mdina
According to tradition it was here that in 60 AD that the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked on the Islands. Furthermore it is said that St. Paul resided inside the grotto know as Fuori le Mura (outside the city walls) now known as St. Pauls Grotto in Rabat. Lamp lit by night and referred to as “the silent city”, Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures.
Mdina has had different names and titles depending on its rulers and its role but its medieval name describe it best – ‘Citta’ Notabile’: the noble city. It was home then, as now, to Malta’s noble families; some are descendants of the Norman, Sicilian and Spanish overlords who made Mdina their home from the 12th century onwards. Impressive palaces line its narrow, shady streets.
Mdina is one of Europe’s finest examples of an ancient walled city and extraordinary in its mix of medieval and Baroque architecture
