Cathedral Basilica of Ciutadella de Menorca

After the Menorca Chess Open, I spent a slow afternoon wandering through Ciutadella’s old town. The narrow stone alleys, the golden light by the marina, and a table of local tapas — prawns, croquettes, and Menorcan flavours — all came together for a perfect end to my chess journey. A lovely way to unwind after the tournament. 🏰🍤♟️

Beautiful cathedral, attended Mass at 8.30pm (summer schedule, 7.30 in winter) & had enough time to look at the side chapels afterwards.

You just have to go to Cuidadela Everything about the place is wonderful! So clean and no litter in the streets. I went into the Cathedral, the stained glass windows and the size of the Cathedral is amazing! Definitely worth going to Cuidadela and the Cathedral.

I love to visit Cathedrals. In every city or place the first building which I love to visit are Cathedrals. This was amazing. The architect is great.When you look up, you can see the figures of animals and humans which are wonderful.Inside the cathedral is great. There is one part which was mosque before in muslim attack and change to cathedral again.

Beautiful church. I loved the architecture. Good historic point, if you want to educate yourself. lovely collection of some relicts. You can enter every room a learn a bit of history of Minorca and this church. Just be aware that it is closing at 2:30 pm. Welcoming and friendly staff. Would love to see English captions on the pictures which were taken during destruction of the church after the civil war.

Que to get in on the day we went so preferred to admire from outside..stunning. .found this little hidden garden at the back by chance ..gorgeous..worth visiting

We loved Ciutadella, with its beautiful architecture, bustling side streets, pretty shops and lovely harbour. We had a fantastic meal down by the quayside and spent happy hours wandering around. There's a lovely city beach for those in the know and a fascinating history to the city.

We just love the old capital! We visited in May and it was so peaceful to walk the main streets and alongside the harbour. The shops were great & not expensive. Most cafés don’t mind you calling in for a drink but please ask as some prefer you to buy both food and drink. I would recommend sitting alongside or at the end of the harbour and watch the world go by! Also, please check out the local history. The cathedral is so peaceful and the historical houses are worth a visit too - all 5 euros each but please try to visit just one. Take your time and enjoy your surroundings!
