What you can expect

Torre d’en Galmés is the largest settlement in Menorca, covering 66,240 m². Located on a hilltop, it offers a strategic vantage point over the island's south coast. The site has a rich history, occupied from the Naviforme period (1700-1400 B.C.) through to the late Roman era, with some remains from the Islamic era (12th century A.D.).
Visitors can explore a public area featuring three talaiots (1000-700 B.C.), a taula enclosure from the post-Talayotic period (650-123 B.C.), and the “Círculo Cartailhac” house from the 2nd century B.C. The site also includes circular houses with central patios and water tanks, storerooms, and a rainwater catchment system. Discover the bronze Egyptian figure of the god Imhotep, unearthed during a 1974 archaeological dig, now displayed in the Museum of Menorca.
The settlement is believed to have been enclosed by a perimeter wall connecting the houses. Enjoy a journey through time as you walk through this well-preserved ancient site, learning about the lives of its past inhabitants.
