Begin your exploration just outside of Mahón at the megalithic village of Trepucó, where you can see remnants of the earliest cultures of Menorca. Observe fragments of the original Cyclopean wall, Bronze Age megaliths, ruins of dwellings, and stone monuments called taulas. Then travel into the heart of Mahón for a walking tour of more modern attractions. Pale façades of whitewashed buildings line wide-open plazas, and the architecture of this elegant town tells the story of various ruling powers that have occupied the island over the centuries. Visit iconic sights such as the grand Teatre Principal – one of the oldest opera houses in Spain – and the 18th-century mansions lining the street of Calle Isabel II. Dominating the town center, the Santa Maria Church dates to the 18th century as well. You’ll also enjoy a stop at the town’s bustling fish and produce markets before walking down to the port, situated in one of the world’s largest natural harbors.
Enjoy the historical, architectural and cultural icons of Mahon, from megaliths of ancient settlements to a neoclassic 18th-century church to bustling modern markets.
