Torralba d'en Salort, Archaeological site in Alaior, Spain.

The archaeological complex features two massive talayots, a hypostyle hall, multiple prehistoric houses, and a monumental taula structure reaching 5 meters high.

Carbon-14 dating of the western talayot indicates human occupation since 1300 BCE, with the site remaining active through Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Roman periods.

Archaeological excavations revealed bronze bull statues and terracotta figures of goddess Demeter, indicating religious ceremonies related to fertility practices.

The Illes Balears Foundation maintains and preserves this cultural heritage site since 1990, making it accessible for public visits and research activities.

The ceremonial taula structure stands out as the only one oriented eastward among all similar monuments in Menorca, maintaining exceptional preservation conditions.
