EDITORS COMMENTS
This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Malta, with a distant view of its ancient capital, Medina, as it appeared in 1909. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life in this historic city. Medina, also known as Mdina, is Malta's "Silent City" and was once the island's capital. Founded by the Phoenicians around 700 BC, Medina has a storied past that includes rule by the Romans, Arabs, Normans, and the Knights of St. John. The city's fortified walls, which can be seen in the photograph, have protected it from invaders for centuries. The ancient capital's architectural beauty is on full display in this photograph. The red-tiled roofs of the houses, the narrow streets, and the imposing bastions all contribute to the unique charm of Medina. The city's grandiose cathedral, the Cathedral of St. Paul, can also be seen in the distance, its tall bell tower reaching towards the sky. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Malta's history. It invites us to explore the ancient streets of Medina, to learn about its fascinating past, and to appreciate the cultural treasures that lie within its walls. Whether you are a history buff, an art lover, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this image is sure to captivate and inspire you.
