About Talayotic Menorca
The Talayotic sites of Menorca were built by Bronze and Iron Age communities beginning around the second millennium BCE, marked by stone towers called talayots. Later inhabitants erected taula enclosures, T-shaped stone monuments thought to serve ceremonial purposes, along with naveta burial chambers. These structures reflect a distinct prehistoric culture that shaped the island for over a thousand years.
