Montefi submitted by SolarMegalith : The SE talayot in Montefi settlement (photo taken on June 2014). (Vote or comment on this photo)
Talayotic settlement in Balearic Isles (Menorca / Minorca). This large talayotic settlement is located near the roundabout, east of Ciutadella city centre. The main structures are three talayots preserved in different condition - in the SE tower part of the internal passage is left intact. Around the talayots there are at least eight artificial caves used for burial purposes in the talayotic period. It is possible that the settlement was larger and has been obliterated by the development of surrounding urban areas.

The talayots are perfectly visible from the main road Ciutadella-Mao, the best access is from the south.
