You are holding a guide that contains basic information for getting to know this “open-air museum” that Minorca has been called many times. In Minorca you will find archaeological sites, buildings of ethnological interest, defence fortifications
built by the English and various museums.

This guide is intended for both Minorcans and visitors. It includes some photographs of each monument documented, with
a description, the location, opening times for the public and the admission fees. All the sites in the guide can be visited
throughout most of the year.

Visiting the monuments that make up this network is to get to know first hand the witnesses to our history: from the megalithic
archaeological sites to the collections of the 20th century, passing by Paleo-Christian basilicas and 18th century fortifications. The majority of the monuments highlighted in this guide offer information in various languages and on a didactic level that makes a visit pleasant and easy to understand.

The “Xarxa Menorca Monumental” (the Minorcan Monument Network) is made up of a group of some thirty monuments of different ownership. The “Fundació Destí Menorca” (the Destination Minorca Foundation) coordinates it with the aim of undertaking joint action in spreading the word on the sites that are available for cultural visits.

Minorca has conserved its monuments since time immemorial. Please treat our heritage with respect.
