Situated in a former monastery, Menorca’s largest museum has on display archaeological finds from around the island;
plus a large collection of fine art.
An incredible 19th Century fort to the side of the harbour in Mahon. This really is the landmark of the harbour.
Guided tours are available.
This area to the west of Fornells is of special interest due to the many archaeological finds and remains throughout the area; excavation is still underway. There is also a museum displaying the archaeological finds.
This fortress was destroyed by the Spanish in 1782.
The interesting guided tour does take a few hours but is highly educational.
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.
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.
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
A must place to visit in Cala en Porter. The caves are open during the day to visit and have drinks and snacks at Sa Cova. In the early evening it’s chill out time with cocktails watching the sunset, then later the caves really come to life with full on disco. Where else do you get a nightclub in a cave, great atmosphere, good music and DJ’s.
