Alfonso III Square

Monuments | Ciutadella

Ciutadella is also characterized by its narrow streets, with curious names like Qui not Passa ('did not happen') or Ses Voltes ('The Arcades') starting at the Plaça de ses Palmeres ('Plaza de las Palmeras' or Alfonso III) and end at the Ciutadella Cathedral beyond, towards the Town Hall is the Plaça des Born. There are remains of the Moorish occupation and reconquest that occurred at the end of the thirteenth century when the Arabs expelled Alfonso III and sent to fortify the city. They built several palaces, churches and convents within the walls of Ciutadella.
