Necròpolis de Son Real

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:44:18

On the sea about 10 minutes' walk southeast of Platja de Son Bauló, this impressive necropolis appears to have been a Talayotic cemetery with 110 tombs (in which the remains of more than 300 people were found). The tombs have the shape of mini-talayots (ancient watchtowers) and date as far back as the 7th century BC. Some suggest this was a commoners graveyard.
