Iconic

An English coastal defense tower, built between 1801 and 1802. It is one of the largest English towers in Menorca and differs from other towers of the same period by its reinforced or sloping ground floor and the cylindrical parapet of the upper floor, a molded cantilever that protrudes entirely from the exterior of the tower and rests on corbels. It was restored in 2000 and opened to the public with a simple and meticulous museum system. Visitors can view this defense tower against dangers from the sea, a constant feature of Menorca's history. At the same time, there are many small hiking trails along the rugged coastline, which can be lapped by the crashing surf.

Definitely worth a visit

Very nice view towards the harbor

A wonderful nature reserve that is worth a visit!

An impressive and very pretty church that can also be visited from the inside.

The majestic and enigmatic defense and watchtower is striking. Over the years he has presided over the raging symphonies that the north wind, the tramontana and the sea have composed to the delight and suffering of the brave fishermen who have sailed the waters of the impressive north coast of Menorca. The Torre de Fornells was one of the eleven coastal defense towers built during the last English domination of Menorca (1798-1802). Although it was for some time in the hands of individuals, a few years ago it was acquired by the City Council, which has restored it and turned it into a museum. The Tower is the authentic visual point of reference for all those who approach Fornells from land or sea and has now become the symbol of pride for the town, which it has always protected.

The art nouveau house can be reached directly from the harbor via the large, white staircase. It is best lit in the morning sun.
