La description

Catle in ruins but an panoramic walk and great viewing point - Walk where romans walked.

Third-highest point of Menorca @ 264m after Monte Toro (358m) and S’Enclusa (275m) from where you have fantastic views of all the western side of Menorca

Due to its political symbolism the castle was destroyed and abandoned by the re-occupying Kings of Aragon, but it remains one of the island most attractive walks with great views at the summit.

Built circa 1230 a castle contructed by the Moorish occupiers for defence sitting on top of the island's better vantage points on the island. Reached by a 45 min. climb up an ancient path which is in places was an old Roman road ( over two thousand years old ) - the views from the top are superb.

How to get there

Travel the ME-1 between Ferrerias and Ciutadella. Take the turn for Els Alocs and continue 1.5 km until you reach an abandoned building on right ( see photos ). This marks the start of the path to the top of the hill.
