LOCATION:
In the village of this name, to which you arrive by the asphalted rural road that leaves the one from Ciutadella to Cala Macarella and goes until the Arenal de Son Saura.
Ciutadella.
The stone-support is deliberately broken and only some fragment of the stone capital is conserved.
On its right, there is a monolithic pillar, connected to the central pilaster by means of a buried flagstone on edge that arrives to one of the two smaller lateral stones that reinforce that.
The precinct has rectangular plan, with lightly apsidal head and
concave facade, and there are two access doors located to both sides
of a solid and square body that occupies the centre of this last one.
The interior adornment presents the habitual pilasters that, here,
lean on a baseboard. In front of the "taula", there is a
possible cistern, covered with a fragment of semicircular stone.

Stone-capital:
Talayotic III (800-450 B.C.), although the building probably continued being used for cult place in the Roman time, because, in an excavation that was carried out in its interior, a sandstone block appeared with the inscription, in Latin characters, LACESE.
The village is the most important in the western sector of the island and one of the biggest in this.
Its very well conserved walls , in which it is easy to distinguish towers, bastions, doors and bunkers, are the more noticeable of it. The "taula" with its precinct, the remains of four talayots, leaned against the wall, and of some houses, as well as a cave located outside, complete the settlement.
In the small field located between the village and the highway to the Arenal de Son Saura is located a "hypogeum of elongated plan" of the Pretalayotic time.
