Natural Harbour

Maó Port

One of the largest natural harbours in the world, a roughly 5km inlet with the old town stacked on the cliffs above and La Mola fortress guarding the mouth. Britain held Menorca for this harbour — the Georgian architecture is a direct legacy of that, and it's how gin arrived on the island.

Viewpoint · Sanctuary

Mount Toro (Monte Toro)

Tip: Top of the mountain, with amazing views and a gorgeous church and shop.

At 358 metres, Menorca's highest point — modest, but the only real summit on an otherwise flat island, so the 360-degree view genuinely does take in most of the coastline. A sanctuary to the Virgin of El Toro has stood here since at least the 13th century.

Fortress

La Mola, the fortress that protects the port of Maón

La Mola is the peninsula located in the easternmost part of Spain. The nineteenth-century fortress situated here is one of the largest walled enclosures in Europe. One of its most impressive features is its excellent state of conservation.

In addition to the spectacular views of the port of Maón, La Mola is a Special Protection Area for Birds. This means that you can enjoy both the landscape and the defensive constructions found here. The indisputable star of the show is the defensive fortress built by Isabel II.
