One of the most emblematic sites of the town Ciutadella of Menorca is the cathedral, a Gothic-style building that was built between the 18th and 14th centuries on the same site and on the ruins of the most important Arab mosque on the island; so It has a very interesting religious meaning and hearing the stories will be very pleasant.

Very close to this monument are Bourne Square and Plaza de la Esplanada, two open spaces that smell of living history.

At present it is used for any type of mass event, but in the middle there is a large obelisk that recalls the sad events of the attack by the Turks in 1558; in which they sacked the city and more than half of the inhabitants died.
