NECRÓPOLIS DE CALES COVES

Nestling in the cliffs of Cales Coves, which form two coves, are some ninety caves carved out of the rock: this is Menorca's most important Talayotic necropolis. While the earliest caves date back to the Bronze Age, the most recent date back to the Iron Age (when funerary rites were combined with cremation). The objects found here are now housed in the Menorca Museum. During Roman times, the site was the object of religious pilgrimages.
