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....). |
