What to Expect
Embark on a captivating half-day journey through Malta's cultural landmarks. Visit the awe-inspiring Mosta Dome, wander the ancient streets of Mdina, and witness traditional crafts at Ta’ Qali.
Begin your tour in Mosta, home to the renowned Rotunda of Mosta, also known as the Mosta Dome. This neoclassical church boasts one of the world's largest unsupported domes and is famed for a World War II incident where a bomb pierced the dome during Mass but did not explode, an event considered miraculous by locals. A replica of the bomb is displayed in the church's sacristy.
Next, journey to Ta’ Qali Crafts Village, a former British military airfield transformed into a vibrant hub for Maltese artisans. Here, you can observe skilled craftsmen creating traditional glassware, intricate silver filigree jewelry, and hand-carved limestone pieces. It's an ideal spot to purchase unique souvenirs that reflect Malta's rich artistic heritage.
The final stop is Mdina, Malta's ancient capital, often referred to as the 'Silent City.' This fortified city, with its narrow winding streets and medieval architecture, offers a glimpse into the island's storied past. Highlights include St. Paul's Cathedral and panoramic views from the bastion walls. Mdina's serene ambiance and historical significance make it a must-visit destination.
