Mdina is believed to be one of the most haunted places in Malta. There are several stories related to haunted nature of Mdina. Most common and popular story is about Mdina’s headless bride.
According to the story…
A beautiful girl, named Katerina who lived in Mdina was attacked by a knight on a dark street at evening time. Trying to save herself, she accidentally killed the knight. As a result, court sentenced her to death by beheading, but not before allowing her to marry her one true love minutes before her punishment was executed. It is said that the headless bride still roams the streets of Mdina, standing silently at the end of the streets, encouraging people to follow her and appearing in their holiday snapshots. It’s also said that she appears to widowers and heartbroken men, telling them to give up on love and join her in death.
Without knowing the fact/story , we visited (for the first time) Mdina on a rainy evening. Narrow lane, dim light, deserted street –created a supernatural atmosphere. Though it was a short walk, It was indeed a different experience.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful place. You really captured some amazing photographs. Will definitely have to put this on my bucket list.
This is so inspiring – far too inspiring since I cannot travel at this moment. Especially your pictures are really inviting. I definitely put Malta on top of my list. Thanx for this inspiration.
Thank you for your inspiring words.
The more I see of Malta in pics, the more I want to get there. During this covid quarantine, this was a fun way to explore the island.
This looks like an amazing place!
