Get lost inside the La Mola fortress

Built between 1848 and 1875 to seal the mouth of Maó harbour, it is a vast complex of batteries, tunnels and courtyards you can explore on your own with a map, with an audio guide or on a guided tour. The Vickers guns still point out to sea. Allow half a day: it is one of the island's most striking visits and, outside August, one of its quietest.
