Talayotic route, the stones speak

Thousands of years ago prehistoric civilisations built the talayots, a kind of stone tower that probably served as housing, watch towers and defence towers. Navetas, taulas, burial caves and talayots today form an impressive network of perfectly preserved remains that have been nominated for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Although you’ll find more than 1,500 sites spread throughout Menorca, some are a must-visit: the Naveta des Tudons, a funerary construction that you will only find on this island, or the Talayotic villages of Torre d’en Galmés and Trepucó, have some of the most spectacular ruins.
