  Ajuntament de Ciutadella de Menorca
Alfonso III confirmed the condition of Capital to the now Catalan Ciutadella of Menorca, where the tribunals of government, royal patrimony and the general mayors office were to be established, and the Governor, the Paborde (ecclesiastic head of the island), and the cavaliers all made their residencies.
The 19th Century signified the awakening : Ciutadella passes from being an eminently agricultural town, surrounded by ramparts, with narrow streets to being a town with ample that expanded from the Contramurada (rampart).
At present Ciutadella of Menorca has a population of approximately 26,000 inhabitants, the majority of whom live in the extensions to the old nucleus and the rest in one of the many suburbs that surround our territory (Calan Blanes, Cales Piques, Cala en Bosc, Santa Galdana....).

 Citadel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example Barcelona had a great citadel built in 1714 to intimidate the Catalans against repeating their mid 17th and early 18th century rebellions against the Spanish central government.
In the 19th century, as soon as the political climate had liberalised enough to permit it, the people of Barcelona had the citadel torn down, and replaced it with the city's main central park, the Parc de la Ciutadella.
In ancient Greece, the citadel, placed on a commanding eminence, was important in the life of the people, serving as a refuge and stronghold in peril and containing military and food supplies, the shrine of the god and a royal palace.

For those visitors to Menorca who have never ventured beyond the resort of Son Bou a visit to Ciutadella on the extreme west coast of the island will be a real eye opener, and will hopefully demonstrate that there is more to the island than lazy days spent of the beach.
Although the City of Ciutadella is the former commercial and cultural centre of Menorca, the depth of history, culture and nightlife here often takes visitors by surprise, and with the increasing popularity of the city break amongst travellers, we felt that a guide to Ciutadella was a long overdue omission to our site.
