Information about Ciutadella and surrounding area from Porta Mondial:
Ciudadela (in Spanish) and Ciutadella (in Menorcan) counts as the historical capital and is situated on the west coast of Menorca.
Its origins go much further back than the Roman reign over Menorca (123 AD) and up until 1722 it was the capital of the island.
The harbour of Ciutadella is one of the most emblematic places in the town and has numerous terraces where typical Menorcan dishes, together with the wonderful surroundings, can be enjoyed next to the sea on summer evenings.
The centre of the old town is the Plaza d'Es Born where the town hall, the theatre of Es Born and a number of neo-Gothic town palaces are situated. The square is dominated by an obelisk which commemerates the attack of a Turkish fleet in 1558. From the square, narrow winding alleys of middle-age origin lead out and allow this beautiful town to be explored by foot. These alleys are reserved for pedestrians only.
The bishop's seat of Menorca is situated in Ciutadella where some of the most important religious buildings can be found, but even amongst all these the cathedral of Menorca stands out. It is the most important Gothic building existing in Menorca and was built upon an old mosque of which the minaret still exists and forms the basis for the present bell tower.
It is also impossible not to mention the fiesta of 'San Juan' when, every year on the 23rd and 24th june, the town of Ciutadella fills up with people from every walk of life, who come to celebrate this deep-rooted, traditional custom when the horses are the main characters. This tradition dates back to the middle ages.
All these factors make Ciutadella a place which must be seen.
