An added attractiveness, and we say this because to certain number of tourists it passes them desapercibido, it is the great archaeological wealth of the island .Los vestiges of the old residents, with millennial antiques, they sprinkle for dozens the fields of Menorca. The navetas that begin to be built B.C. toward the 1.500, is stone constructions, with funeral function that you/they receive that name because their form remembers an invested ship. The most spectacular is the Naveta d'es Tudons that is near Ciutadella.
The culture talayótica that continues in in time to that of the navetas manufacturers, he/she receives their name of the characteristic construction of the period, the Talayot. These that reach a dozen meters high, are towers built troncocónicas with enormous stones, apparently with a defensive function. They have not arrived at our times with their corridors and interior cameras that are today in demolished day. In the proximities of some talayots they can it still turns the remains of the old populated talayóticos.
The taulas is the typical funeral monument of the culture talayótica. This is formed by two enormous plane stones that you/they prepare an on the other one forming a great " T ". The religious purpose of the construction that is evident, leaves many queries on the exact function of the great T of stone, located in an enclosure formed by big vertical blocks.
