Ciutadella is often called the capital of western Minorca since it was the capital of the island for years before the first British occupation. It is the second largest city on the island with a population of 21,000 people and has a number of majestic buildings to visit, including the Gothic Cathedral, the Town Hall, and numerous palaces. But undoubtedly, Ciutadella is famous worldwide for its festivals.
On the Day of San Juan horses and riders in mass take over the city, riding through the streets of the town. Medieval horse games are also offered along the port. You can visit one of the oldest and well-preserved prehistoric buildings on the island, called the Naveta des Tudons, on the outskirts of Ciutadella. The city's coastal area is the longest on the island, and there you can find beautiful beaches with white sand and turquoise-blue water. Don't hesitate to visit Algaiarens and Cala Pilar, to the north, and Macarella, Cala en Turqueta and Arenal de Son Saura, on the south coast.
