In addition to the incredible beaches and inviting waters of Menorca, the island has an astonishingly rich history. Boasting an impressive 1,500 megalithic sites, Menorca is a paradise for archaeologists, history buffs and anyone with an interest in ancient civilisations. There are sites all over the island, including villages, burial tombs, and an incredible necropolis all built by the island’s original inhabitants, the bronze-age Talayots.
Fast forward a few centuries and starting with the Romans, numerous foreign forces have invaded the island, including the Moors, Spanish, French and British. Each have left a piece of their culture that can be seen in the island’s towns and cities. Don’t miss visiting Citutadella, the city’s original capital with a particularly elegant old town speckled with stunning Gothic and Neoclassical architecture.
The island has a rich culinary tradition, don’t leave without tasting the Menorcan speciality of Caldereta de Langosta or lobster stewed in a rich stock.
