Ciudadela

Today: Spain

Years: 1802–1833
Role: Former capital of Menorca, seat of the bishopric

Ciudadela was the capital of the island until the English occupation of 1714, and British rule in the 18th century left it in decline, with the capital at Mahón. Its church of Santa María was made a cathedral in 1795, when the bishopric of Menorca was restored.
