Trepuco

Trepuco is an archaeological site with remains of buildings and structures from prehistoric times. The location sits on elevated ground and displays foundation walls of several dwellings along with distinctive stone structures typical of the Talaiotic period.

The settlement faced destruction during military conflicts in ancient times and declined as new powers took control of the island. The local population later maintained a connection to this place as part of their heritage.

The site reveals how people lived and practiced their beliefs in prehistoric times through the structures and objects left behind. Walking through it, you sense the rhythms of a settled community that occupied this land for generations.

The site is best explored on foot and calls for sturdy shoes due to uneven ground. The cooler months make for a more comfortable visit since the sun can be intense across this open area.

A star-shaped dry-stone wall from later centuries now encircles the ruins and shows how later generations protected this place. This younger fortification both overlays and safeguards the oldest traces at once.
