Son Catlar is a prehistoric town which came into being in the pre-talayótic period, and lived with splendour from the talayotic period until the end of the Roman era. It is distinguished from the rest, by the fact, that it is the only township in Minorca which conserves, in its entire state, a spectacular defence wall which surrounds it completely, with its nine hundred metres of length, six turrets and a bastion. In the interior we find the remains of the enclosure of a taula, five talayots and various rooms.
Address: Son Catlar is found 8 kilometres south of Ciutadella, along the Sant Joan de Missa path, heading towards the Son Saura beaches.

Traveller name: Karen (August 2009) Impresionante su muralla ciclópea
Did you find this review useful? No dejeis de ver este poblado, conozco Menorca desde el año 1978, y fue el pasado verano cuando lo visité con un compañero especialista en "piedras y cuevas"....y me parecido impresionate la grandiosidad de esta muralla de piedra de una sola pieza y bien conservada. Todo el poblado está dentro de ella con puertas de acceso, y hasta que no lo paseas por dentro y fuera no se aprecian las grandiosas dimensiones, aparte de estar en un entorno privilegiado. !Ha sido una suerte contemplar este conjunto prehistórico!
