This castle, located on the southern shore of the mouth of the port of Mahón, houses a labyrinth of underground galleries

Located on the southern shore of the mouth of the port of Maó, Sant Felip Castle was long considered Europe's most important fortress in the mid-18th century. Built in the 16th century to the designs of Italian engineer Joan Baptista Calvi, it houses a labyrinth of underground galleries where 3,500 English civilians and soldiers were besieged for six months during the Spanish conquest of 1782 (the castle was destroyed after this episode).

un vieux château relativement bien conservé. Ca se visite en moins 1h mais jolie point de vue, à regrouper avec la visite de St Esteve
