The mysteries of the talayotic culture in Menorca

An ancient legacy in stone

Menorca is home to one of the most fascinating prehistoric heritages of the Mediterranean: the Talayotic culture. These communities left their mark more than 3,000 years ago with impressive stone constructions, such as talayots, navetas and taulas, which still defy the passage of time. Their purpose is still under study, but it is believed that they served defensive, religious and ceremonial purposes.
