Mdina / Rabat, Malta area

Today Rabat is a bustling town with its own attractions. Historically, Rabat is inextricably linked to the Roman period with the Domvs Romana being an excellent example of the Roman lifestyle.It is the only and most important suburb of Mdina. It is separated only because it is not within the old city walls. Nonetheless, it can boast some relics of the first order.

There are two sets of catacombs open to public, St. Paul's and St. Agatha's. The parish church of St. Paul was originally the nucleus of Malta's first Christian community. The baroque church and priory of ST. Dominic are important, as are the remains of the Roman Villa; and also the first hospital in Malta, the Santo Spirito, with records going back to 1370 (150 years before the arrival of the knights). On the road out of Rabat there is a pleasant country drive which takes you to the Verdala Castle, summer residence of the Grand Master.

Further on to that road one can find the Busketto Gardens, Malta's biggest park, with acres of lovely greenery. Do not miss to visit Dingli Cliffs very close the Busketto Garden, These spectacular cliffs which at 120 ft. high provide a unique and dramatic vista. The Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene perched on the edge marks the highest point on the Maltese Islands, some 250 metres above sea level.
