The town of Ciutadella de Menorca is located in the west of the Balearic island of Minorca in Spain. It is the old Minorcan capital that has an archaeological heritage in the form of the megaliths such as the 'Taulas", the Talaiot and the Navetas. Surrounded by beautiful medieval streets, the city's historic quarter is called Es Born and is filled with palaces, churches and fortresses. Places of interest include Ciutadella's town hall, which is the former palace of the Arab governor and later served as a royal palace under the Crown of Aragon and again as a governor's palace until the British moved the capital to the eastern town of Mahon in 1722. There are many beaches and pretty little coves a short distance from the city that are definitely worth exploring.
Although no longer the island's capital, the city has still retained its religious importance on the island. The festival of Saint John, its patron saint, occurs each year on the 23rd and 24th June. Also, the Cathedral of Menorca can be found in the city's old quarter. The cathedral was built in 1827 on the foundations of an older mosque.
The Spanish city of Barcelona lies on the Mediterranean Sea coast, between the mouths of the River Llobregat and River Besos and is also bordered to the west by the Serra Collserola mountain range. The city is the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia and is the second largest city in Spain, after Madrid. The city's origins date back to when it was founded as a Roman city and then in the Middle Ages it became the capital of the County of Barcelona. Today, the city is a very popular tourist destination and cultural centre and is particularly well known for the architectural works of Antoni Gaudi and Lluis Domenech i Montaner, which have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
There are many things to do and see in Barcelona including the National Museum of Art of Catalonia which contains a collection of Romanesque art while the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art has a collection on post 1945 Catalan and Spanish art. Also in the city the Fundació Joan Miró, Picasso Museum and Fundació Antoni Tàpies hold important collections of these world famous artists, as well as Can Framis Museum, which focuses on post 1960 Catalan Art owned by Fundació Vila Casas.
From the city's port, whose piers are located close to the city centre, ferries depart to Mallorca, Ibiza and Morocco (Tangier Med).
