Ferreries is a municipality on the island of Menorca, in the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. Its name is derived from the Catalan word ferrer ("blacksmith"), which in turn, comes from Latin word ferrum. At an elevation of 150 metres it is the island's highest town.[2] Plaça Espanya [3]

A surprise here is the pagoda-like piece of modern sculpture in the main square, the Plaça Espanya, while just up the hill at the back of the plaça – along c/Fred – stands the neatly shuttered Ajuntament, primly facing the parish church of Sant Bartomeu, a largely eighteenth century edifice with an 1884 vintage belfry tacked onto the top."
