The city of Ciutadella was ramsacked by a Turkish army in 1558, many of its inhabitants were hauled back to Constantinople to work as slaves. What was once a city full of historic buildings was left with just a handful of monuments.  Today Ciutadella  is an impressive  city with a fine Gothic Cathedral, one of the few remaining buildings untouched by the Turks. The plaza des Born is one of the nicest squares in Spain.  There are some lovely bars and restaurants situated under the shade of tall palms.    The small port area is lined with restaurants and is a fantastic place to sit and have a meal on a hot summer evening.
