TALATÍ DE DALT
(Villages)
Door (?) of the Village of Talatí

LOCATION:

Situation

Near the "Camí de Cotaines", narrow asphalted way that begins in the highway Alaior-Cala en Porter and connects with the one from Maó to Ciutadella near the crossing of this with the one that leads to the Airport of Minorca.

The quickest mode to go is to take the aforementioned highway Maó-Ciutadella, in the direction of this second town, and, later on, to deviate toward the left for the first asphalted road that we find after the crossing with the highway that leads to the airport.


MUNICIPAL DISTRICT:

Maó.


DESCRIPTION:

Around a small talayot dof oval plan and form of frustum of cone located in the high of a small prominence of the field, diverse constructions are located, among which the precinct of a "taula", with a "columned room" half subterranean at the foot, as well as some houses a little sunk in the field and very well conserved highlight. There are also some caves and what seems an access door open in a wall curtain (of this, only some layer and the remains located around the portal would be conserved).

CHRONOLOGY:

They are evident the indications of an intense Romanization and of a continuous use until very advanced the Middle Age.
