How to Get to Fornells Tower
It can be reached by road by any means of transportation you can think of: Car, Motorcycle, Taxi, Bus, Bicycle.
- It is very difficult to get lost from both Mao and Ciutadella, as it is about following the signs for Fornells.
- Once in Fornells, you have to follow the signs to the Tower of Fornells,or just ask.
Once There…
The Fornells Tower has 4 levels or floors:
- The Cistern:used to accumulate water
- Lower floor:served as a warehouse for food and armament
- First floor:rooms where the inhabitants lived
- Terrace:served to house artillery and as a surveillance point
The Tower Tour as such is not spectacular, but the views from the top of the Tower are very nice. In addition, the price is quite low so it is a visit suitable for families.
You Can Take Advantage to Make a Kayaking Route
From Fornells you can rent kayaks and visit some of the coves of the bay. Both children and adults can enjoy the sea from the kayak and it does not require an excellent physical shape, so it is another plan suitable for everyone.
- I recommend stopping at Cala Cabra Salada if you take a kayak.

Until the early 1990s the Fornells Tower was privately owned and the state of conservation was terrible (as was the Rambla Tower). In 1994 the Town Council of Mercadal bought the Tower from its owner and later ceded it to the Consell Insular de Menorca for 30 years. The restoration was completed in 2000 and since then the Tower has been used as a museum.
- The Tower of Fornells can be visited from Monday to Sunday from 09.30h to 15.40h.
- On Mondays admission is free
