Mahon Cruise Guide
At the opposite end of the island Ciudadella is the former island capital, well worth a visit for its architecture, atmosphere and shopping. Dotted amid the rural and largely uncommercialised Menorcan countryside are several prehistoric remains from the Talayot civilisation of the 2nd millennium BC, while the coast is famous for its cove beaches.
Sightseeing
Highlights
• Talatí de Dalt and Naveta d'es Tudons: two of the most spectacular of the island's several prehistoric formations.
• Ciudadella: its superb Gothic-Baroque Catedral de Menorca, its picturesque arcaded shopping street, Ses Voltes, and quaint old market area.
• Beaches: the idyllic white-sand coves of Cala Mitjana, Cala Turqueta, Cala Macarella and Cala Trébaluge near Cala Galdana.
• Binibèquer Vell: a picture-postcard re-creation of a typical fishermen's village, close to Mahon.
• Fort Marlborough, Mahon. Underground fortress built by the British in the early 18th century.
