Torre de Fornells: Entrada sin colas
Más información sobre el legado británico en Menorca
Profundiza en la historia de Menorca con una visita a la Torre defensiva de Fornells. Descubre cómo era el día a día de la fuerza británica de ocupación estacionada allí y contempla una impresionante pieza de ingeniería de principios del siglo XIX.
La Torre de Fornells se construyó para vigilar la entrada del puerto de Fornells y evitar que los enemigos desembarcaran y atacaran el cercano castillo de Sant Antoni. Una pequeña guarnición habría controlado la zona, preparada para repeler una posible invasión enemiga.
En el interior de la torre había almacenes para armas, municiones y alimentos, así como un piso que albergaba la guarnición y una plataforma de artillería. La entrada original de la torre en forma de cono truncado, reforzada con bloques de arenisca, estaba en el primer piso y se accedía a ella por una escalera de madera que podía subirse en caso de ataque.

Learn more about Britain's legacy in Menorca
Delve deeper into Menorca's history with a visit to the defensive Tower of Fornells. Discover what day-to-day life was like for the occupying British force stationed there and see an impressive piece of early 19th-century engineering.
Fornells Tower was built to guard the entrance to Fornells harbour and prevent enemies from coming ashore and attacking nearby Sant Antoni Castle. A small garrison would have controlled the local area, ready to repel a potential enemy invasion.
Inside the tower, there was storage for weapons, ammunition, and food, as well as a floor that housed the garrison and an artillery platform. The original entrance of the truncated cone-shaped tower, reinforced with sandstone blocks, was on the first floor and was reached by a wooden ladder that could be pulled up in the event of an attack.
