The Carmelite friars resident at the historical Priory in Mdina invite you to experience both the spiritual and the daily way of life in this spectacular 17th century priory. The Carmelite Priory offers the unique opportunity of visiting various rooms that include a decorative refectory, an authentic kitchen, a typical friars cell, as well as a sober oratory, amongst others to get a taste of the spiritual, artistic, historical and cultural heritage of Carmelites. The impressive church also forms part of the same visit. The visit is always guided by a resident friar or by a "Friend of the Priory". The Carmelite Priory is the first priory in Malta to be open to visitors in an attempt to share with contemporary people the Carmelite heritage handed down to us from one generation to the other. Carmelite friars living here share their lifestyle with visitors who wish to pay a visit in the historical spaces, or to spend some time of recollection, organise spiritual and cultural events, or participate in the courses organised by the Carmelite Institute Malta. The Carmelite Priory opened to the public in November 2008, following an extensive restoration project which took place on both the building as well as the artefacts kept at the priory and is also a cultural centre promoting artistic, literary and cultural activities aiming at helping visitors to come to contact with God through the experience of what is beautiful. Booking is need to visit the historical part of the Priory.
