Torre d'en Galmés

There is a horseshoe shaped enclosure with a characteristic Menorcan taula, the T-shaped stone monument that presumably represents a religious site.

In the south of the town, one of the circular buildings features a well preserved Sala Hipostila ("room of columns"), adjacent to the side of the house and with large rocks still across the roof.

In the south of the town, there is a well preserved and remarkably sophisticated water conservation and storage system, using a sequence of underground cisterns connected by channels.

[1] The talayotic people made a filter system of concave depressions, partly filled with pebbles, to clear soil from the water.

Among the artefacts discovered at the site is a small bronze figurine of the deified Egyptian architect Imhotep, whose cult spread throughout the Mediterranean.
