Torre d’en Galmés: Skip The Line Ticket

Visit one of Menorca's most complete Talaiotic settlements

From its location atop a hill, the Talaiotic settlement of Torre d'en Galmés would have held control of all its surrounding territory. Step back to the past and see what has been preserved from this Iron Age civilisation. During your visit you'll be able to see three talayots, numerous circular houses; a water collection system; several burial caves; and a taula enclosure, where a small bronze statuette representing the Egyptian god Imhotep was found. Torre d'en Galmés was occupied from 2000 BC until the medieval Christian conquest of 1287. It is estimated that during its peak, between 1100 BC and the second century BC, it would have accommodated a population of about 900 people. The Torre d'en Galmés Interpretation Centre provides interesting resources to interpret the remains, understand the historical moment, and appreciate the uniqueness of this spectacular archaeological site.
