Menorca’s Prehistoric Past
02.09.10
Did you know that Menorca is a remarkably concentrated region of prehistoric monuments? In fact, because it has so many Bronze Age remains packed into such a small island, some consider it the most concentrated area of monuments in the world.
There are Megaliths called Taulas which are stones arranged in T-shapes. They may have a ritual meaning to the ancient societies that built them, perhaps to do with burials or sacrifices.
There stone formations like this along the cliffs at Son Bou as well as monuments called navetas. So anyone on their son bou holidays who likes the sound of exploring ancient ruins can take a pleasant walk among them, and see for themeselves.
