Bay of Alcudia

The Bay of Alcúdia opens on the northeastern shore of Mallorca, facing the waters between the island and Menorca. A narrow isthmus separates it from the neighbouring Bay of Pollença. On that neck of land the Romans founded Pollentia after conquering Mallorca in 123 BC. The city's position gave it access to both bays, and its remains recall the long history of settlement beside these waters.
