La Mola Fortress, also known as Isabel II Fortress, is a Spanish military complex located on the Mola Peninsula, at the entrance of Mahón port, on the island of Menorca. It was built in the mid-19th century under the orders of Queen Isabel II. The fortress was designed with three main objectives: to defend the port, to serve as the base of operations for all the army forces on the island, and to provide a last resort stronghold for these forces.
The Princess Tower at La Mola Fortress
The fortified area of La Mola Fortress includes the Princess Tower, one of the two towers built on the Mola Peninsula by the English in 1799, during their third occupation of the island. This historical structure adds to the rich military history of the fortress and the island of Menorca itself.
