British and fortress route

In the heart of the port of Maó, you can relive a bit Menorca’s military history. The vast Fortress of Mola, full of underground galleries, fortified lines and old magazines, rises up in what is a beautiful natural setting. On foot, by bike, buggy or horseback... 

As you explore, you will discover its history against a backdrop of spectacular views of the coast. This remarkable journey into the past continues in the underground galleries of San Felipe Castle, on the south shore of Maó harbour. You can take an exhilarating night tour with uniformed actors, torches and cannon fire: a thrill-packed treat for the little ones! And in the centre of the port is the Isla del Rey. A guided tour will reveal all the secrets of the former military hospital that occupies this islet.
