Castell de Sant Felip
The great fortress that guarded the mouth of Maó harbour from the 16th c., with kilometres of underground tunnels now hidden below ground. It can only be seen on a guided tour run by the Consorci, which makes it an exclusive, uncrowded heritage outing.
What to see and do
- descend into the underground galleries and countermines with a specialist guide
- understand the siege of 1782 and the life of the garrison that defended the harbour
- complete the military ensemble at the harbour mouth alongside Fort Marlborough and La Mola
