Overlooking the scenic mouth of Mahón Harbor, the 19th-century Fortaleza de la Mola, also known as Fortaleza de Isabel II, stands as a testament to Menorca’s strategic importance. Its well-preserved walls provide expansive views across the water, while the fortress itself is a maze of galleries and tunnels that visitors can explore. The hornworks, once used to position artillery, add to the site’s historical significance, offering a glimpse into the defensive strategies of the past.
