Sala hipòstila des Galliner de Madona

The structure features five columns and nine pillars built with stacked large stones, supporting massive stone slabs that form the roof.

The construction dates from an undefined period between 1050 BC and 123 BC, corresponding to the transition between Prototalayotic and Postalayotic periods.

The name derives from ancient Greek terminology, where hypostyle refers to a roof supported by columns, reflecting Mediterranean architectural influences.

Visitors need to contact the Heritage Service of Menorca Council before accessing the site, as entry is restricted to protect the structure.

The original entrance remains visible in the northwestern facade but has been sealed, while current access occurs through an opening created by a roof collapse.
