Es Castell, founded by the British in the 18th century under the name Georgetown in honor of King George III, is a clear reflection of British influence in its urban layout and architecture. Later renamed Villacarlos by the Spanish in tribute to King Charles III, this town combines its rich military heritage with Mediterranean charm.
Known for being the easternmost point in Spain and the first to see the sunrise, Es Castell offers a unique experience. Its blend of British-influenced architecture, military history, and local life invites visitors to stroll through its streets, visit its museums, and explore its quaint fishing harbor.
