梅诺卡岛的灯台与塔楼

Lighthouses & Coastal Towers

Minorca’s coastline is defined by a network of historic maritime signals and defensive structures. This list features 19th-century lighthouses like Favàritx and Cavalleria alongside British and Spanish military towers dating from the 14th to 18th centuries. These structures, including the masonry Torre de Fornells and the striped Artrutx, served as vital communication links and defense points against Mediterranean incursions. Many are situated on significant geological sites, ranging from the rugged slate cliffs of the north to the limestone headlands of the south.
