Trepucó megalithic village

During the Second Punic War (218 BC) Trepucó village was partially destroyed and was then abandoned after the period of Roman dominance (123 BC). Today, the fragments of the cyclopean original wall, two talaiots, the taula enclosure and the remains of some dwellings are all that remain. The visitor area lies inside an enclosure surrounded by a star-shaped dry-stone wall built in the eighteenth century. Outside the enclosure there is a small talaiot and a few other dwellings. The domestic utensils found during excavations can be seen in the Museum of Menorca in Maó.

• There is no entrance charge.

The best prehistoric 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.
  • Talatí de Dalt
    A visit to the Talaiotic settlement of Talatí de Dalt, which blends in so harmoniously with its surroundings, is always a memorable experience.
  • 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.
