History & geography

History

Initially, French colonists built a large, whitewashed Neoclassical church, which they named after Louis IX. The town and municipality subsequently grew up around this church; local residents were drawn to the chapel for the protection and resources it offered. While the rest of the town was laid out by the French government in a grid-square system, a tree-lined town square in the form of a large public green space was established on land reserved opposite the church, today known as Pla de sa Creu (). Records surrounding the development of the town are sparse. Streets were named after government officials, religious figures, and prominent locals, but the exact uses for each street—and the reasoning behind their names—during the early settlement period are not well understood.

Geography

Sant Lluis is a small municipality on the south-east coast of Menorca, named after its principal settlement, the inland town of Sant Lluis. The municipal borders extend right up northwards towards the outskirts of the capital Mahón and westwards towards the island's airport. The municipality borders the other municipalities of Mahón and Es Castell. Geographically, the region is fairly flat with rugged coastline, except for the major tourist resorts, where there are golden beaches; Playa de Punta Prima being one of the oldest resorts. The climate is typical to that of most of the Balearic Islands and Mediterranean Spain, a Mediterranean climate with cool winters and hot summers, and much of the Menorcan terrain is Mediterranean dry shrub land; home to many different species of herbs and shrubs. The popular beach of Punta Prima is the first beach in Spain to greet sunrise, as Menorca is the most easterly part of Spain. Sant Lluis is home to several small prehistoric monuments, although not as numerous compared to the island's other municipalities, dating back to the prehistoric times. The major town in the municipality is Sant Lluis (Spanish: San Luís), which is where the area's name is derived from. The town's main street is called Es Cós in Balearic Catalan. Many of the streets are laid out in a grid pattern of straight wide roads, characteristic of the town's French founders, as land was sold to settlers in gridded lots.
