| Abstract: | The article "The Genesis of the Archbishop's Palace in Mdina" by Conrad Thake, published in The Sunday Times on December 11, 1994, examines the architectural history and development of this Baroque palace. Situated near Mdina Cathedral, its construction was closely tied to the post-1693 earthquake rebuilding efforts and was influenced by designs from architect Lorenzo Gafà. The article discusses the architectural features, modifications, and strategic design considerations, such as the integration of defensive elements and connections to the cathedral. |
