CORNIA 1
(Talayots)
Talayot 1 of Cornia

LOCATION:

Situation

To the right of the highway from Maó to Cala en Porter a little before arriving to the crossing with the highway to the airport (the road that leads to the monument begins to the right of a house that there is next to the highway).



MUNICIPAL DISTRICT:

Maó.


DESCRIPTION:

Talayot of circular plan and profile of frustum of cone. Two doors to access to its interior, one to the east, at level of the floor, and another to the south, in the high of the monument, are distinguished. The first, small and with cyclopean lintel, leads to what can be the central axis of the talayot where there is a narrow chimney that rises up (maybe we are before an interior disposition in concentric circles); the other one would give access to the stances of the superior part, practically missing now.


DIMENSIONS:


NEIGHBOURING MONUMENTS:

Around the talayot, we see a whole village, very not well known, in which a second talayot ("Cornia 2"), in very bad condition, highlights.
