With approximately 25,000 inhabitants, Ciutadella is the most western of all the municipalities on the island and was the capital of Menorca until English rule. Nowadays it is a fairy tale-looking city. It is a pleasure for visitors as they transport themselves to sensations and ambiances from past centuries, wandering the old town through extremely narrow-stoned streets, lightened by the white colour of the humble houses or the shiny stone of the stately homes.
