Buckle up, 600 years ago, Malta and Gozo took down a tyrant so vile he’d make your worst landlord look like a saint. Think the past is boring? Not here. Our ancestors were too busy dodging medieval madness in Mdina to yawn! 

Enter Malta Themed Tours, your ticket to a past that’s wild, unfiltered, and downright unforgettable. Forget stuffy lectures and crumbling guidebooks—this weekly Wednesday Mdina Walking Tour is a time-traveling riot you’ll wish you could join for real. 

Back in 1425, Gozo lit the fuse on a rebellion against Don Gonsalvo Monroy, a Spanish noble who treated the islands like his personal ATM. Endless taxes, crooked rule, and exploitation so shameless it’d make a pirate blush drove the locals to snap. What kicked off in Gozo roared into Mdina, sparking five years of glorious chaos—political upheaval, economic collapse, and a siege so brutal it’d give even the Great Siege of 1565 a run for its money. Yet, this savage showdown lurks in the shadows of Malta’s flashier battles—until now. 

The “Medieval Mayhem in Mdina” Malta Tour drags this forgotten epic into the spotlight. This immersive Mdina Walking Tour hurls you into the muck and madness of 1425–1430, where you’ll feel the pulse of a people who said “enough” to tyranny. Join Mdina’s noble families plotting in candlelit halls, their choices are only two:  Survival or Death, as the world outside spirals into chaos and destruction. 

Your adventure kicks off at the Joseph Howard Memorial—honouring Malta’s first Prime Minister under British rule, born from the fiery Sette Giugno riots. But hold your horses: this Mdina Malta Tour reveals a darker, earlier fight for freedom, sparked by Gozo’s rebels 600 years ago. It’s self-government with a side of medieval madness.
