What can you find in Maó and why should you visit it?
Maó has the longest natural harbor in the Mediterranean and the second longest in Europe with 5 kilometers long. It is one of the best in the world, therefore, not only tourists are dazzled after their visit, but historically it was a desired port even by foreign navies.
The port of Maó is not only special for the coast where it stands and the cinematic views that illuminate the island every night, but also for its wide range of leisure and gastronomic offer. Going out to party in Maó is one of its main attractions to discover the nightlife, as it is the city with the largest party area of the island.
At Paradis Blau we also recommend you to visit other iconic points of interest during the day to get even closer to the culture and history of this beautiful city:
La Mola Fortress
Built between 1848 and 1875 to defend Menorca from the British threat, the Fortress of La Mola is one of the greatest symbols of military architecture of the nineteenth century on the island. It is located in the port itself and consists of 10 fronts divided into two defense groups, one land and one sea.
Museum of Menorca
This museum, located in an old convent, shows objects of the prehistoric period of the island. Visit this ideal place to learn all the history of Maó and the island in a unique space.
The clock of the Town Hall
If you visit Maó we advise you to go to the Town Hall where you will find the famous clock brought by the English governor Richard Kane.
Sant Roc Bastion
This iconic symbol is another of Maó's points of interest, as it is one of the few remains, if not the only one, of the main gate of the wall that surrounded the city.
Church of Santa Maria
The spectacular Church of Santa Maria has its 19th century organ with 4 keyboards and 3,120 pipes, where the International Organ Festival is held, an event full of art and culture.
