Monuments

House built in 1761 for the Mercadal family in the oldest part of the city of Maó, known as Pont des Castell, an elevated area where the old medieval fortified town was located. This building was new and was built on the site that remained after the demolition of the old family properties of the Mercadal in the early eighteenth century, as political retaliation for having supported the supporters of Archduke Charles during the War of the Spanish Succession.
