Plaza Des Born (Ciudadela)
La señorial plaza des Born es el centro neurálgico de Ciutadella, el núcleo de la ciudad del que emerge un laberíntico circuito de callejuelas y pórticos con mucho encanto. En el medio de la antigua plaza de armas preside el obelisco des Born; un monumento de veintidós metros de altura datado del siglo XIX, que conmemora la resistencia y la derrota de la ciudad por parte de los turcos en 1558, que saquearon e incendiaron la ciudad y se llevaron a Constantinopla a cerca de cuatro mil cautivos.

The stately plaza des Born is the nerve center of Ciutadella, the heart of the city from which emerges a labyrinthine circuit of narrow streets and porticos with a lot of charm. In the middle of the old square of arms presides the obelisk des Born; a monument of twenty-two meters high dating from the nineteenth century, which commemorates the resistance and defeat of the city by the Turks in 1558, who looted and burned the city and took to Constantinople about four thousand captives.
