LOCATION:

You arrive to it by a well signalled deviation that there is to the left in the highway Alaior-Son Bou, at half distance between these two points.

Alaior.

The village is organized around three "talayots" arranged from the east to the west in the top of a small hill that dominates the place. At the foot of the central talayot, the largest one of the three, there is the precinct of the "taula", with its facade toward the south. In the low part, also to the south, the biggest number of constructions, among which highlight several "columned rooms", some circular houses and a complex "system of collection of water" that make use of an old Pretalayotic "hypogeum", are concentrated. The doors of several lines of walls (each one, probably, from a different stage of the village growth), some dispersed hypogeums and some houses more, dug a short time ago and located in the north end, complete the remains of what was probably the biggest nucleus of Talayotic population in the island.

It occupies some 5 hectares.

It seems that the three "talayots" were built in the Talayotic I, around the 1400-1200 B.C., while the houses and some walls would be from around the 10th century B.C. It was abandoned around the 13th century of our era, when the Catalan conquest of the island was carried out.

Very close there are the "megalithic sepulchre" of "Ses Roques Llises" and the complex of "Sa Comerma de Sa Garita".
