Day 8 - Rabat and Mdina

Rabat is a bigger neighbour of  beautiful Mdina. There are only 250 permanent inhabitants living in Mdina, a town with old historic atmosphere and narrow lanes, which was  constructed by the Arabs and the Knights of St. John to protect people inside high walls. The Grand Masters of the order built huge pallaces and houses there. There is a mixture of architetecture styles - such as baroque, rennaisance, neoclassic and others. There is the only cathedral of St. Peter and Paul is in Mdina. All other sacred places in Malta are only churches.
I also saw a wonderful church in Mosta with the third biggest free dome in the world. The biggest one is St. Peter's dome in Rome and the second one is St. Paul' s in London.
