Minorca’s history is marked by the
different phases of foreign rule, making it the most complex of all the
Balearic archipelago and the
port of Maó is a faithful reflection
of this past. Here we can find the remains of San Felipe Castle, La Mola
Fort and the former hospital of El Llatzeret, which all bear witness to
another period.
San Felipe Castle, designed by the Italian engineer Gianbattista Calvi, is located on the south bank of the entrance to the port of Maó.

on the southern bank of the mouth of the Port of Maó. Although there
are few remains of this remarkable fortress, today Es Castell is an area
full of life and charm with an interesting history behind it. In the 16th and 17th Centuries, many families set up their homes on the other side of the walls of the Castle of Sant Felip, in search of a place to protect themselves from the continuous pirate sieges. |
