Cultural heritage in Menorca

Menorca is an island with a wealth of history and culture, with a large number of monuments and archaeological sites that bear witness to its rich history. The island has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Among them are the prehistoric monuments of the Talayotic culture, a legacy of the Bronze Age in the Balearic Islands, a treasure for researching and enjoying Europe’s prehistoric period. These include the Naveta des Tudons or the prehistoric settlement of Torre d'en Galmés, which make the island an open-air museum. These monuments include the typical talayots, stone towers built by this culture more than 3,000 years ago. Ciutadella is an impressive example of the stately and defensive architecture built by the British occupiers. The city has an impressive Gothic cathedral, a central square with historic palaces and a harbour overlooking the Mediterranean. The entire island is a reminder of its rich history and cultural diversity, influenced by a parade of cultures and civilisations, from the islands' first settlers and the Romans to the British and French in the not-so-distant past.
