Maó, Administrative capital in Menorca, Spain
The eastern municipality encompasses a natural harbor stretching 5 kilometers long and 900 meters wide with clear Mediterranean waters.
The British administration established Maó as the capital of Menorca in the early 1700s, constructing the Royal Navy Dockyard in 1715.
The Teatre Principal stands as Spain's first opera house, while the Museu de Menorca displays collections representing island heritage through centuries.
Visitors access numerous beaches, fortresses, and archaeological sites through a network of marked paths connecting different sections of the municipality.
The traditional architecture features boinders, enclosed glass balconies influenced by British bow-windows during the 18th-century occupation period.
