Castell de Cabrera

  • The 14th-century castle on the island of Cabrera, off Mallorca’s south coast, has a chequered history, subsequent to its original purpose as a defence measure for the southern reaches of the main island. At various times it has been a pirates’ den; a crowded, deadly prison for 9,000 French soldiers in the 19th century; and an outpost for Franco’s Fascist forces in the 20th century. Now the island it oversees is a nature preserve, and a climb up to the crumbling old fortress will be rewarded with some stupendous views (see Illa de Cabrera).
