Lithica – Pedreres de s'Hostal
Pedreres de s'Hostal
A disused sandstone quarry transformed into a maze garden and stone-carved space, with huge geometric rock walls that are truly striking.
Marès sandstone, used for building across Menorca, was quarried here by hand and later by machine, leaving deep pits and enormous cut faces. The Lithica Foundation has converted the site into gardens, a maze and an open-air amphitheatre, showcasing quarrying techniques. Admission is about €8, and concerts are often held on summer evenings. It is about 2 km from Ciutadella.
