Ferreries (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a town and municipality on the island of Menorca, in the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. Covering approximately Template:Cvt, it forms a natural transition between the island’s northern cliffs and southern sandy coves and beaches. The environment blends Mediterranean forests, limestone ravines to the south, and farmlands. The town’s economy is diversified across agriculture, livestock, manufacturing, and tourism.
History
Ferreries was founded at the end of the 13th century, originally around a church dedicated to Saint Bartholomew before gaining autonomy in 1836.[1] An Arab castle was constructed during Moorish rule atop the Santa Àgueda hill and is accessible through an old road.[2] Its name is derived from the Catalan word ferrer meaning "blacksmith", which in turn, comes from Latin word ferrum.[3][4]
