St. Philip's Castle, Military fortress at Cala de Sant Esteve, Spain
The stone fortress extends across multiple levels with underground passageways and galleries that stretch beneath the surface of Es Castell municipality.
Italian engineer Giovanni Battista Calvi designed this strategic fortification in 1554, which later underwent British modifications during their occupation in the 1760s.
The castle represents the architectural and military evolution of Menorca through Spanish and British rule periods, visible in its construction techniques.
Located 4 kilometers from Mahon and 1 kilometer from Es Castell, visitors need to walk 2 kilometers from the nearest public transportation stop.
Three thousand English soldiers and civilians sought shelter in the underground galleries during a six-month Spanish siege in 1782.
