Ciutadella was the original capital of Menorca until the British stripped its title and making the city of Mahon the new capital. This allowed Cuitadella to retain its Spanish culture and ancient Moorish influences, while Mahon was heavily influenced by the British culture and architectural styles.
The ancient city is a beautiful, small and welcoming area with a lively marina. The old quarter has retained the cobble maze-like streets, whitewashed houses and historical cathedrals. The city offers great atmosphere for guest to walk along the narrow streets with hidden shops and cafes.
