Castillo de Santueri (Santueri Castle), Mallorca

Santueri Castle sits upon a mountaintop as strategically historic as Gibraltar or the Panama Canal. Through the ages, it has housed an Arab fortress, a Byzantine stronghold and a Roman military outpost. Could one ask for a more appropriate vacation destination than that? Bring the family on up to the high ground, admire the ramparts and battlements, and sink your teeth into the palpable dust of thousands of years of war, empire and destruction. The panoramic views of the rest of the island are enough to inspire imperialistic urges in even the most pacifist of visitors. There is no museum, no gift shop, no snack bar - only history.
