It seems incredible, as small as Menorca is, how dense and complex its history is. Due to its strategic position, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, it has been, since ancient times, highly coveted as a military base, for control or simply as a refuge.
All the civilisations that have passed through the island (Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Muslims, English or French) have left a legacy that we can still see today in its historic houses, Ciudadella, Mahon …
Did you know that Mahon has one of the largest natural harbours in the world, with its 6km depth? And that this year the Talayotic culture of Menorca has been named a Unesco World Heritage Site, for having one of the richest and most unique archaeological landscapes on the planet.
