You will breathe in a <strong>cheerful, young and lively atmosphere <\/strong>every day of the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would you like to discover Ciutadella? Come with me and I will tell you everything you shouldn\u2019t miss!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TOP 5: What to see in Ciutadella<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are so many things to see and do in Ciutadella, but my advice is to <strong>let yourself go and follow your instincts, discovering hidden corners, alleys, little shops<\/strong>, stopping for a coffee or an aperitif sitting on a terrace, and watching people go about their daily business. Only in this way can you discover the <strong>true essence of Ciutadella.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there are some <strong>places you absolutely cannot miss <\/strong>on your visit to the city. They are these:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Es Born Square<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/es-born.jpg?resize=640%2C428&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"es born ciutadella\" class=\"wp-image-23509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/es-born.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/es-born.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/es-born.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <strong>square of Es Born you will find most of the historical buildings of Ciutadella<\/strong>: the beautiful Town Hall, the theatre, Salort Palace, and Torresaura Palace. Also, in the centre of the square, you can see a <strong>22-metre high obelisk <\/strong>erected in honour of the victory in the battle against the Turkish army in 1558.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take the full tour of the square and don&#8217;t miss the beautiful details of these buildings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where the weekly market is held and the centre of <strong>Ciutadella&#8217;s patron saint festivities<\/strong>:<strong> the feast of St John.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
