Taulas of Menorca

The taulas were shrines, used for fertility rituals, animal sacrifices, and even breaking amphoras! Fire was an important feature of these spaces. Another type of building only found on Menorca are navetas, group tombs made of mid-sized stones.

Situated on the northern shore of the port of Mahón, Cala Llonga is the most exclusive urbanisation in Menorca, and is home to some of the most spectacular properties on the island. Many international celebrities such as Richard Branson, Elton John or Ian Gillian among others have wonderful properties in this area.

tau·​la. ˈtau̇lə plural -s. : an ancient massive crude stone structure of unknown use but suggesting a table, platform, or altar that is found especially in the Balearic islands.
