EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time as you approach the Main Gate into Mdina, Malta, also known as the Old City or the Noble City. Dating back to the 17th century, this fortified city in the Northern Region of Malta has been a center of culture and history for over 4,000 years. The Main Gate, built in 1722, serves as the entrance to this ancient city, which was once the capital of Malta. The photo print, taken in 1923 during the 1920s, captures the grandeur and majesty of the Main Gate. The intricate stonework and ornate details of the gate are on full display, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation and the city walls protected its inhabitants from invaders. Mdina, with its narrow, winding streets and beautiful baroque architecture, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982. The city's rich history can be seen in its many museums, churches, and palaces. The Main Gate, with its imposing presence, remains a symbol of the city's past and a must-see attraction for visitors to Malta. The 1920s were an era of great change and progress, and this print offers a glimpse into a time when the Main Gate into Mdina was still a vital part of daily life. Today, it remains an enduring symbol of Malta's rich history and cultural heritage.
