MDINA MAIN GATE by sangwann

MDINA MAIN GATE

From my 19th March album. Apart from visiting the Domus Romana, just outside Mdina, and the feast of St Joseph in Rabat, which is actually a suburb of Mdina, we spent some time in this beautiful medieval city, the former capital of Malta.
This is the bridge to the city and the Main Gate built on the design of Charles Francois de Mondion in 1724. This is not the original gate which was 5 metres to the left and can be noticed in the picture just behind the two persons.
Mdina is one of Europe's finest examples of an ancient walled city and extraordinary in its mix of medieval and baroque architecture.
Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely and very informative comments on yesterday's picture.
Fabulous architecture there Dione! You are really doing a superb job showing us the beauty and history of Malta!

I've never seen a gate to a bridge that looks like this! It is absolutely amazing.

Nice shot. i'm not sure I like the outline effect around the trees, but it growns on you. What a pity about that prosaic sign on the left.
