#talayots

Heavyweights: Menorca’s pioneers carved out a life using the blocks of limestone that were abundant during the Ice Age on the Spanish island. Those towers, one of 1,000 talayots constructed, are now a candidate for UNESCO’s World Heritage List, a recognition of cultural treasures. The hypostyle hall above (a roof supported by columns) at the Torre d’en Galmés site was attached to a circular home and probably used to store food or keep livestock.
