Sant Lluis

Few towns in the Balearic Islands have a history as closely tied to France’s brief 18th-century administration of Menorca as Sant Lluís. Founded in 1761 while the island was under French occupation, the town takes its name from Louis IX of France. Its orderly centre differs from many older Menorcan settlements, while the restored Molí de Dalt windmill recalls the grain-milling economy that once shaped local life. The municipality runs south-east towards the Mediterranean, where Punta Prima forms part of its low-lying coast. Menorca’s dry-stone walls remain a defining feature inland.
