Capocorb Vell

Capocorb Vell is an archaeological site in Llucmajor consisting of several stone buildings, including round towers called talayots that were typical of prehistoric Balearic civilization. The structures are scattered across the terrain and give an impression of how early settlement appeared in this area.

The site dates to the Bronze Age and ranks among the largest excavated prehistoric settlements on Mallorca. This early community demonstrates how people inhabited this region across many generations.

The remains show how ancient inhabitants of Mallorca built and lived, with stone structures reflecting their craftsmanship and practical knowledge. You can see from these ruins what building materials and techniques were available to them at that time.

The site is located outside the village and is accessible via walkable paths that are generally passable year-round. Informational panels on-site help you understand what you are seeing, though there are no visitor centers or facilities.

Several towers in the northeastern area follow a recognizable pattern also seen at other sites like Son Oleza. This arrangement pattern hints at how different early communities applied similar building principles across the region.
