About: Fornells Tower

This defensive tower on the Minorcan coast was built between 1801 and 1802 during its British occupancy. It served the purpose of guarding the entrance to the port of Fornells, protecting the nearby castle of San Antonio by preventing enemy landings.

It is located north of the town of Fornells on the spit of land that separates the entrance of the port from the beach of Tirant.

Fort Marlborough

Fort Marlborough was built by the British between 1720 and 1726, during the first period of British rule in Menorca, and its good state of preservation makes it a magnificent example of 18th-century military engineering. Located in Cala Sant Esteve (Es Castell), its function was to defend the entrance to the port of Mahón. It is excavated in the rock, and is accessed through a tunnel, which reveals a subsoil full of galleries and subway rooms. The upper part offers a magnificent panoramic view of the mouth of the port. An exhibition montage integrated in the enclosure explains the history and peculiarities of the fort, and helps you understand the turbulent 18th century and the legacy left by Britain in Menorca.
