Lonely Planet review

This former 15th-century Franciscan monastery has had a chequered history. From the time the Franciscans were obliged to abandon it in 1835 after Mendizábal's expropriations, the buildings embarked on a colourful career path - ranging from nautical school and public library to high school and children's home - until it became a museum.

The permanent museum collection covers the earliest history of the island, the Roman and Byzantine eras and Muslim Menorca, and includes paintings and other material from more recent times, too.
