A settlement called Talatà de Dalt could not have appeared on Menorca later than the year 2500 BC, according to archaeology enthusiasts of the Balearic Islands. Just like many similar colonies, Talatà de Dalt met its decline after the arrival of Romans in the 2nd century BC, but continuous excavations show that life hadn't stopped here until the 13th century AD.
The main sight of this ancient place is a taula used by Talatà de Dalt residents for sacrifice. Archaeologists also discovered numerous artificial caves and pillar-supported (hipostile) chambers, whose true purpose remains a mystery.
Talatà de Dalt is located 4 kilometres away from Maó in the direction of Ciutadella.
