Perhaps visit the Jeronimos Monastery, last resting place of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, the UNESCO-listed Belem Tower, built in 1515 to protect the city’s harbour or the superb collection of modern art at the Berardo Collection Museum.

Menorca became a British possession in 1713, and the new rulers moved the capital of Menorca to Mahon because of its large natural harbour. The British built Fort Marlborough here, which is worth a visit, while also of interest is the Menorca Museum, housed in a 15th century monastery, which chronicles the island’s history from Roman times onwards, and the Church of Santa Maria, famous for its remarkable four-keyboard organ, built in 1807.
