Mdina Film Tour also featuring GoT

Begin your journey at Mdina Gate, also known as the Main Gate or Vilhena Gate. This is the iconic entrance to the Silent City of Mdina. Built in 1724 in stunning Baroque style by architect Charles François de Mondion during the rule of Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena, this historic gateway is one of Malta’s most recognisable filming locations. Fans of Game of Thrones will instantly recognise it as the entrance to King’s Landing in Season 1. The gate has also appeared in productions such as Black Eagle, Bolibar, and Vendetta for the Saint, making it a must-see stop for film and TV lovers exploring Malta’s cinematic history.

Discover Cathedral Square, the majestic heart of Mdina, surrounded by elegant Baroque architecture and centuries of noble history. Dominated by the stunning St. Paul's Cathedral, this atmospheric square has served as a spectacular filming location for major historical productions. Fans of epic cinema may recognise it from Napoleon and The Count of Monte Cristo, where its timeless streets and grand facades perfectly recreated the atmosphere of historic European cities. With its cinematic charm, quiet elegance, and rich history, Cathedral Square is one of the highlights of the Mdina Film Tour.

Explore Mesquita Square, one of the most picturesque and recognisable corners of Mdina. With its narrow winding streets, honey-coloured limestone buildings, and timeless medieval atmosphere, this hidden square became a memorable filming location in Game of Thrones Season 1. Fans may recognise the area from scenes set in King’s Landing, where the charm and authenticity of Mdina helped bring the world of Westeros to life. During the tour, guests use an interactive app to watch video snippets from the exact scenes filmed in this location, allowing you to compare the real setting with its on-screen appearance. Quiet, atmospheric, and full of cinematic history, Mesquita Square is a must-visit stop for every Game of Thrones fan exploring Mdina.

Step through the historic Greeks’ Gate, the secondary entrance to Mdina and one of the city’s hidden cinematic gems. Unlike the grand Main Gate, this quieter entrance preserves a more authentic medieval atmosphere, complete with narrow passageways and impressive fortifications. Its timeless character made it an ideal filming location for productions such as Bolibar and Black Eagle. Rich in history and atmosphere, Greeks’ Gate offers visitors a glimpse into the lesser-seen side of Mdina while showcasing why the Silent City continues to attract filmmakers from around the world.

During this walk we guide you through this beautiful silent medieval city, while walking past the most important palaces, convents, churches and typical streets. This walking tour is the best tour you can take in Mdina and Rabat so as not to miss out on anything worth seeing in this city.
