The Mdina gate is a profound attraction on the island, offering one of the best examples of Baroque architecture.
Created in 1724 to the designs of the revered architect Charles François de Mondion, the gate will likely be of interest to lovers of the TV show Game of Thrones where it featured as the King's Landing Gate in the filming of the episode Lord Snow.
