The Mdina Cathedral Museum is housed within a magnificent Baroque building with a rich history that traces its origins back to the early 1700s. Originally constructed as a seminary under the patronage of Bishop Paul Alphéran de Bussan, the building has undergone a transformative journey throughout the centuries. In 1969, it was officially inaugurated as a museum, preserving and showcasing a remarkable collection of artworks and historical treasures.
