King Island - in Mahon's Harbour, Menorca
King Island is an island of 4 hectares which is located just in the middle of Mahon's Harbour, in Menorca. It's visible from most of the port. Specifically, is located between Mahón and Es Castell , on the Southside of the Island. It also has springs in both North and South coasts.
Militar Hospital of King Island
During British conquest in Menorca, in the 18th century, the British build the hospital, which ends being a quarantine area, taking advantage of being on an Island. For this reason, British conquerors called that island Bloody Island.
The name of King Island, it's due in 1287, King Alfonso III expelled Muslims from Menorca.
A piece of extra information is that this Island has a human activity for a lot of time, that's why there's a Christian basilica of VI century.
