Thank you Tomas for this great opportunity! The following photo was taken in Mdina, the ancient capital of Malta, a jewel island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. Mdina takes its name from the Arabic colonisation period, before it was a Roman castrum and its ancient name was Melita. It's a mysterious place and loosing yourself within the maze of its narrow streets is an almost mystical experience. The "silent city" has also a wide underground system of paleo-christian catacombs right beneath it, waiting to be explored.
