Mao

Built around its deep natural harbour, Maó grew into Menorca’s administrative capital. The Port of Maó reaches far inland from the Mediterranean and has long shaped the city’s commercial and naval life, linking its historic centre with communities on both shores. British rule during parts of the 18th century left a lasting imprint, including Menorca’s gin tradition, while nearby Fort Marlborough recalls the contest for control of the harbour. Maó is also well placed for exploring the island’s coves and prehistoric Talayotic sites, recognised by UNESCO.
