You’ll find 17th-century, Italian-style buildings and an interesting old cathedral here. However, many travelers are drawn to Ciudadela’s lively nightlife and fiestas, including the Processo dels Tres Tocs on January 17 and a celebration of Sant Joan, the town’s patron saint, on June 23–24. They feature dancing, parades and pomada, a drink combining gin and lemon.

We bought two tickets for €5 each at the Cathedral (which is beautiful) and then wondered over to the museum. My kids, who are 9 and 7, got in for free, which was a nice touch. The museum is fascinating, the building has a peaceful quality, the grounds are tranquil and it was a lovely experience for the while family. I'd definitely recommend it.

The palace, which faces the Cathedral of Ciutadella, has been recently restored by the owner, the last descendants of the noble Olivar family. It is a must for those who wish to learn how the aristocratic families were living in the old capital of Menorca. The family still lives in the palace, but most of it can be visited. The visitors will enjoy amazing rooms with frescos, paintings, furniture and objects from the old times. In the cellar, the family found a cave with original bottles of wine from the XVIII century, many of them which are still sealed. The visitor will also find the original book that an ancestor of the Olivar family wrote containing the details about the negotiations from releasing the 3000 captive citizens of Ciutadella who were kidnapped by the Turks in 1558 to be sold as slaves on the market of Constantinople.
