Necròpolis de Son Morell Nou

Necròpolis de Son Morell Nou, Archaeological necropolis near Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain.

Necropolis of Son Morell Nou is a burial site near Ciutadella with fourteen chambers carved directly into rock formations. Each chamber contains interior columns, window openings, and varying floor levels that show the complexity of these underground spaces.

The burial site remained in use for over 1,600 years, from around 1600 BCE through the second century AD, connecting pre-Talaiotic and Roman periods on Menorca. This long span shows how different cultures used this location to bury their dead.

The name Cala Morell refers to the cove; the site is also called Son Morell Nou. Local tradition calls the small round niches between caves 4 and 5 capades de moro; their exact purpose is unknown, though they are linked to burial rites and sometimes read as children's or urn graves. Cave 5 was later reused as a cistern, its entrance walled and a shaft cut through the ceiling, with a trough carved beside the door.

From Ciutadella, turn left at the first roundabout in Cala Morell and continue about 200 m to several small car parks. Information panels stand at the site, which is freely accessible all year. The ground inside the chambers is uneven and entrances sit above floor level.

Between caves 4 and 5, small round niches cut into the rock wall are called capades de moro. Their exact purpose is unknown, though they are linked to burial rites and sometimes read as children's graves or urn burials. Cave 5 was later sealed and used as a cistern, with a shaft bored through its ceiling and a trough cut beside the entrance.
