Archeology:
Talatí de Dalt




Talatí de Dalt is located some 4 kilometres from Mahón,

near the roundabout that leads to the airport.

Right at the entrance to the ruins, you'll find a talaiot.

The settlement is divided into the public area with the sanctuary and the taula in the middle and the privat area with houses and hypostyle rooms (storerooms).


The unusual feature of its taula (megalith) is that it is in balance with a column that must have fallen on top of it accidentally.


Besides the central talaiot, there are two tailots on the perimeter of the prehistoric settlement.
