Wonderful panoramic view over the island. Those who have conquered the slope can strengthen themselves in the Klosterschänke. At 560 meters, the mountain is the highest in Menorca

At the top of Monte Toro is a former convent and chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Monte Toro, a venerated figure on the island. The chapel dates back to the 17th century and is an important pilgrimage site for locals.

The name "Toro" comes from the Latin "turris", meaning tower, in reference to the watchtower that was located on the mountain during medieval times.
