Description

The Talaiotic Culture is the name used to describe the society that existed on the the easternmost Balearic Islands during the Iron Age.

The construction known as the Taula is considered the most emblematic ceremonial monument of Menorca.

It served as a sanctuary, and its enclosure had a horseshoe form, similar to those found on Mallorca but unlike the Majorcan variety, had a great central structure resembling a table ("taula" means "table" in the Catalan language).

The exact construction date of these sanctuaries is not known, although the enclosures could have existed throughout the Talaiotic, and the central monuments could belong to any date throughout the first millennium.
