Es Castell is a small municipality on Menorca's east coast. It was founded in 1711 by a British colonel and originally named Georgetown in honour of King George III. Its modern name was inspired by the nearby fort, Castillo de San Felipe. This is located in the Cala de Sant Esteve, on the shore south of Mahón's port entrance. Together with the Fort Marlborough, they serve to protect the entrance of the coveted port of Mahón. Today in Es Castell, there are traces of the English era, such as the guillotine windows or the intense red-coloured façades in the village for the menorquins. From the highest points of the area, we can see the enormous fortress of La Mola that is placed at the entrance to the north coast of Port Mahón. From them we can also contemplate the two islets, the islands of Rei and Llatzaret. Properties here include rustic fincas and historic villas.
