Mdina
Mdina is commonly referred to as the “silent city”, it's a place where time has stopped in the Middle Ages, as evidence by the fact that its protective walls still stand guard to protect its under three hundred inhabitants.
It's widely accepted that the town was founded by the Phoenicians sometime around 700 BC and it continued being of importance throughout history since then. Tradition also hold that Saint Paul stayed in the city after he was shipwrecked on the Maltese islands.
Rabat
Rabat is situated just outside the walls of Mdina, and though in ancient times it started as a sort of a suburb of Mdina it now has a population which exceeds 12,000. Besides its many historical buildings and ruins, Rabat is well known for its series of catacombs, called the Catacomb of St. Paul and of St. Agatha. These were the places where in Roman times the inhabitants used to bury their dead and where Christians met in secret to worship before Christianity was made the official religion of the Roman Empire.
