Concerts to offer entertainment for Menorca villa guests

People who would like to add some culture to their Menorca villa holiday this year can pay a visit to the church of Santa Maria in Mahon to enjoy an organ concert.

The island's tourist board revealed that performances will take place every day of the week except Sunday between the months of May and October.

Concerts will be performed on an organ with over 3,000 wooden and metal pipes, which was crafted between 1807 and 1810.

The instrument was built by Juan Kyburz of Switzerland and decorated by Francesc Commas, a sculptor based in Mahon.

As well as enjoying the concerts, Menorca villa guests can visit the church of Santa Maria to learn about its history, which stretches back to the 18th century.

The building, which was constructed during British rule, boasts interiors designed by Italian artist Giuseppe Chiesa and an impressive facade overlooking Pla de Sa Parroquia, a square that often hosts celebrations and processions.

Holiday makers who visit Mahon during a Menorca villa break can also see its harbour, which is often full of life and activity.
