MENORCA Information: MENORCA
PREHISTORIC MONUMENTS |
The prehistoric monuments in the Balearics have a personality all
their own. As with all the islands, Menorca has several megaliths,
though exclusive to the island are the taulas and navetas. A taula
is a huge stone slab placed horizontally on a vertical stone in the
form of a table; there is only one in each town or village. Navetas
look like an upturned building; they are made of relatively even stones,
with a chamber inside that is sometimes big enough to be divided into
three naves separated by pillars.
Menorca is thought to have over 1,500 archaeological sites of this
type. In the area surrounding Mahon there are two of particular importance:
Trepucó, with a giant monolithic taula, and the Talatí
de Dalt taula (one of the most important), to the west.
Near Ciutadella are three important archaeological sites: the Tudons
naveta (the best conserved of all), the Torrellafuda taula and the
Torre Trencada settlement.
