Menorca (or Minorca) is the most easterly of the Balearic islands. The capital of Menorca is Mahon, a town known since antiquity for its natural harbor. As a result of the Spanish War of Succession, Menorca passed to the English Crown. Together with Gibraltar it was England's reward for accepting the Bourbon Felip V as king. English rule lasted for nearly a century. Many traces of this period remain, particularly in the design of the tall houses with their sash windows overlooking the harbor.
