Basilica de Sant Francesc (Basilica of St Francis)
The sober facade of this gothic church belies a typically exuberant baroque interior. But the real draw is its adjoining cloister. With its simple gothic architecture, a central fountain and citrus trees, it is a veritable oasis of peace at the heart of the old town.

Plaça Weyler and Plaça Mercat
These adjoining squares contain some of the island's most remarkable modernista (Spanish art nouveau) architecture, including the ornamental Gran Hotel (today the Fundació La Caixa art gallery); the Forn des Teatre bakery and, in Plaça Mercat, Pensió Menorquina and Can Casasayas, with their rippling facades and butterfly and fern motifs.
