Description
This superbly illustrated book explores in great detail the history of the urban space and architecture of Mdina so that the reader will be able to understand the nature and impact of the successive Bronze Age, Classical, Medieval, Baroque and recent building overlaps that have resulted in what is considered by many to be one of the finest walled towns in the Central Mediterranean. A central theme in this book concerns the role of the 1693 earthquake in creating a medieval baroque architectural dictionary which represents one of the unique features of the town of Mdina.
