Now that we were ready from lunch, we found ourselves in St. Paul's square once again and we decided to walk up to St.Agatha's catacombs. In the same street, we came across a lace store. We entered and found a middle-aged lady which immediately greeted us. She explained how the traditional lace and clothes are all hand-woven. Back in the days, the drapes used to be woven in the upper floor. From this shop we walked down the main street and to Triq l-Għerixiem where we were amused by the breathtaking while heading up to the Roman Villa. The mosaic pavements in the Domus Romana rank among the finest and oldest mosaic compositions from the western Mediterranean. We spent around half an hour going round and admiring the old remains on display. After that we went to relax on one of the benches in Howard Gardens which offers a nice view of the Mdina bastions as well as the newly inaugurated Mdina ditch. While walking through St.Paul's street in the morning, we saw a casual local band club which offers both lunch and dinner in a stunning atmosphere. Before going to Palazzo Xara for dinner we decided to have a look at the church next to it. Entering the building, one could hear perfect silence except for the footsteps of an old man who was going round the church and saying a prayer in front of some the statues which characterise this church. After admiring the artistic architecture and paintings which decorate the interior of the St.Joseph's parish we ended the day with a mouth-watering dish from Palazzo Xara as we chatted on this wonderful experience which the village of Rabat offers.
