| The city of Maleth was founded by the Phoenicians around 700 BC and later became part of the Roman Empire under the name Melite. The Punic-Roman city occupied all of present-day Mdina and its walls extended into part of Rabat. The city was reduced to its present size sometime during the early Middle Ages, either by the Byzantines or the Arabs. In the 15th century, the city (now known as Mdina) was defended by a system of double walls. |
