Fuerte de Marlborough

The coastal fort features subterranean galleries, deep moats, and stone-carved chambers positioned along the cliffs of Menorca's harbor entrance.

Built in 1710 during British rule, the fort served as a strategic defense point during conflicts between British, French, and Spanish forces over Mediterranean control.

The fortress preserves military engineering techniques from the 1700s, demonstrating the architectural influences of British occupation in Menorca.

The fort contains modern audiovisual exhibits and multimedia guides that lead visitors through underground passages and historical military installations.

The defensive structure includes a connected watchtower reached by a stone path, preventing enemy troops from establishing positions in the surrounding area.
