Menorca National Day is observed on January 17 each year on the Spanish island of Menorca, part of the Balearic Islands. This day commemorates the reconquest of Menorca by King Alfonso III of Aragon in 1287. The celebration recognizes the island's historical significance, as it was previously an independent Islamic state before its incorporation into the Kingdom of Aragon. Although Menorca National Day is widely celebrated across the island, it is not a public holiday in the Balearic Islands. The day serves as a reminder of Menorca's rich history and cultural heritage, reflecting its journey through various conquests and influences over the centuries.
