Ciutadella de Menorca's Absolute Essentials

Ciutadella de Menorca, the island's former capital, preserves its medieval heritage through the Gothic Cathedral of Menorca and the 17th-century Castell de Sant Nicolau. The historic center revolves around the Plaza del Born, leading down to a narrow natural harbor lined with limestone cliffs. Beyond the city, the landscape features prehistoric sites like the Naveta d'Es Tudons and diverse coastal highlights, ranging from the white sands of Cala Macarella to the rugged red clay cliffs of Cala del Pilar.
