The Talatí de Dalt talaiotic village

A visit to the Talaiotic settlement of Talatí de Dalt, which blends in so harmoniously with its surroundings, is always a memorable experience. Its spiritual enclosure is remarkable for the column that leans against the horizontal stone of the taula, which sets it apart from all other Menorcan Talaiotic taules. Aside from what seem to be two small talaiots with buildings attached, the other major element of interest is the large central talaiot on the highest part of the site. This well-preserved structure is tronco-conical in shape and has numerous attached buildings that seem to have an interior chamber. The foundations of private Talaiotic houses are also visible, along with the exterior walls of these circular houses, and a hypostyle room covered by large stone flags supported by a central column. The visit finishes with a look at two natural caves, whose purpose is unknown.

How to get there

Accés amb cotxeAccés amb biciTalatí de Dalt is on the road Camí de Talatí. About 4 km from Maó on the main Maó-Ciutadella road turn left (but, first, be sure to bear off to the right to complete this left turn safely) and just 400 m along the Camí de Talatí you will come to a small car-park on your left, from where you can enter the settlement. If you are coming from Ciutadella and the west of the island, this turn-off is 8 km after Alaior on the right.

The best megalithic monuments of Menorca

  • Megalithic culture of Talaiotic Menorca
    The Talaiotic culture refer to the customs and skills of the pre-historic inhabitants of the Balearic Islands up to the Roman conquest (123 BC). Most of the archaeological remains that have been excavated –of which most are on Menorca – correspond to the so-called Talaiotic culture that can be dated from around 1,000 BC.
  • The Naveta des Tudons
    The Naveta des Tudons is a pre-Talaiotic funeral building in use from 1200 to 750 BC. It consists of a collective tomb that was found to contain the remains of at least 100 graves...
  • Cala Morell necropolis
    This spectacular necropolis with 14 burial chambers hewn from the bare rock is to be found in a small gully just before Cala Morell to the north of Ciutadella.
  • Torre d’en Galmés
    Torre d’en Galmés is one of the largest Talaiotic sites in the Balearic Islands and is well worth a longish, unhurried visit to ensure that you appreciate all its finer points.
  • Torrellafuda
    Torrellafuda is a small Talaiotic site with unrestricted access that stands in a shady old wild-olive grove. You will find the remains as soon as you begin to walk along the access track.
  • Son Catlar
    The site of Son Catlar is of great interest as the only Talaiotic settlement in the Balearic Islands whose surrounding cyclopean wall is all but intact.
  • Torretrencada
    Despite being somewhat hidden-away and smaller than other Menorcan sites, the Talaiotic settlement of Torretrencada is still well worth a visit.
  • Torralba d’en Salort
    Torralba d’en Salort is remarkable for its enormous taula and its enclosure. This taula is one of the largest on Menorca and is perfectly preserved.
  • Trepucó
    Covering 5,000 m2, Trepucó is one of the largest Talaiotic sites in Menorca, even although only a small part of the original settlement has been preserved.
