At this point, our local and official guide will give you a brief introduction to Ciutadella and provide insights into the buildings surrounding this square.

We will tell you a bit more about this street and the activities people used to carry out in the past.

Here, we will find the oldest religious order still present on the island, the stateley home of the 11th Baron of Lluriach, and then we will continue along Sant Cristòfol Street to see the ancient cobblestone alleys of the city.

We will pass through this old market located in a square that evokes a sense of freedom. It is one of the central spots for both shopping and enjoying some Menorcan tapas.

The stately home of the Saura Miret family, a Baroque-style building constructed in the 16th century. Today, it serves as the headquarters of the Ciutadella Municipal Museum.

Step inside Casa Olivar, the historic noble palace opposite the Cathedral. Belonging to the same family for centuries, this visit offers a unique glimpse into the life of Menorcan aristocracy. Admire the exquisite period furniture and spectacular painted ceilings. An essential stop to understand the soul of old Ciutadella.

The guided tour ends at this point, where we will enjoy spectacular views of the port, the manor houses, the theater, the town hall, and the obelisk.

A 14th-century cathedral in Catalan Gothic style that has endured through the centuries and undergone a comprehensive restoration, bringing back the light it had lost.
