Illa del Rei

History and culture · Art museums, History museums

An island in Maó harbour with an old British military hospital turned into a museum, an early Christian basilica and the Hauser & Wirth art centre.

What to see

The hospital, built by the British in the 18th century, has been restored for years by a volunteer foundation, which shows its wards and its collection of naval and medical history.

On the same island is the Hauser & Wirth contemporary art gallery, with a garden by landscape designer Piet Oudolf.
