MDINA - A History of its Urban Space and Architecture
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.
