Minorca or Menorca is one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean
Sea belonging to Spain. Its name derives from its size, contrasting it with
nearby Majorca. Minorca was invaded by the British once again in 1798, during
the French Revolutionary Wars, but it was finally and permanently repossessed
by Spain by the terms of the Treaty of Amiens in 1802. The British influence
can still be seen in local architecture with elements such as sash windows. Source
