Sandra Scott Travels: Mdina Is Steeped In Rich History
The name “Mdina” is a reminder that the Spanish Muslims (Moors) ruled Malta from 870 to 1091. During that time, Christians and Muslims lived in relative harmony and the Catholic Church copied some Islamic rituals.
Church bells ring five times a day inviting Catholics to pray and the Islamic month of fasting called Ramadhan was transformed into Lent. In the 1200s, Charles II of Naples had all the Muslim inhabitants exiled or sold into slavery and the mosques were destroyed or converted to churches.
