Important information
* Visit not suitable for people with reduced mobility
- Visit one of the largest ancient settlements in Menorca and the Balearic Islands
- See well-preserved structures made from large stones that have stood the test of time
- Discover typical structures from the Talaiotic culture: talayots; taula, circular houses; and hypostyle rooms and caves
From its location atop a hill, the Talaiotic settlement of Torre d'en Galmés would have held control of all its surrounding territory.
Step back to the past and see what has been preserved from this Iron Age civilisation. During your visit you'll be able to see three talayots, numerous circular houses; a water collection system; several burial caves; and a taula enclosure, where a small bronze statuette representing the Egyptian god Imhotep was found.
Torre d'en Galmés was occupied from 2000 BC until the medieval Christian conquest of 1287. It is estimated that during its peak, between 1100 BC and the second century BC, it would have accommodated a population of about 900 people.
The Torre d'en Galmés Interpretation Centre provides interesting resources to interpret the remains, understand the historical moment, and appreciate the uniqueness of this spectacular archaeological site.

Naveta d'Es Tudons
The Naveta d'Es Tudons is the most emblematic monument of the Talayotic culture, due to its excellent state of preservation and its unique construction.
Built in the form of an inverted nave with medium-sized stones and no mortar, this naveta for funerary use consists of a corridor that gives access to two chambers – one built on top of the other.
It is believed to have been used between 1400 and 900 BC, and in its interior the remains of more than one hundred individuals have been found, as well as the metal and bone objects that accompanied them and ceramic vessels used in the burial rituals.
It is not possible to enter or climb the naveta for security and conservation of the monument.
