The old town, located by the harbour, is very appealing with its ochre, yellow and pink houses, and its narrow, winding streets, charming squares and fountains.
On the southeast side of the city is the Mourillon, a genuine village within the city. It is the city's best spot for eating out, with the seaside promenade and adjacent streets lined with attractive restaurants and bars.

The old town is surrounded by a street called the “Contramurada”, which follows the line where the old city walls once stood. The old city is charming with its different quarters, palaces and churches. The market is held in the courtyard of a beautifully restored former convent, its worth going along just to see the building. There are many watchtowers to explore around the city; a full day can easily be spent visiting the narrow alleys and sights
What was originally a fortress, the Bastio de Sa Font was renovated and became the museum in the 1990’s.
The islands wealth of archaeological excavations, are housed here; collections include Iron Age skulls, Roman coins and jewellery.
This church in Ciutadella was rebuilt between 1748 and 1772 after the desecration of the cathedral by the Turks under Barbarossa in 1558 and the collapse of the vaults of the apse in 1626; the damage was quickly repaired in the original style. It is famously the home to a great organ with over 3000 pipes. Organ recitals are held daily.
This fortress was destroyed by the Spanish in 1782.
The interesting guided tour does take a few hours but is highly educational.
