Central Malta
Ancient walled town beside Mdina
Rabat sits immediately outside the walls of Mdina in central Malta, and together they form one of the island's most historic and atmospheric locales. While Mdina is restricted to very few residents, Rabat is a living town with a strong community, catacombs, and an authentic old-Malta character. Property prices are moderate and it is popular with those wanting history and culture in their daily surroundings.
