St. Agatha Esplanade is in the northern section of Mdina. It is a lovely area to walk because the gently winding street is infrequently explored by tourists. It also leads to Bastion Square. From this hilltop perch you will be treated to a great view of the medieval city plus a panorama of the valley below. From this vantage point, it is easy to understand why this citadel provided such a great defensive position for thousands of years.
