Nécropole de Cales Coves, Archaeological necropolis in Alaior, Spain.
The complex contains over ninety burial caves carved into limestone cliffs along the southern coast of Menorca, forming an extensive prehistoric cemetery.
The site operated from the Bronze Age through the Iron Age, with different cave types reflecting changes in burial practices over several centuries.
The caves served as collective tombs where specific human groups deposited their deceased, following established funeral traditions of the Talayotic period.
Visitors can access the site by taking the Torralba road southward, turning toward Cala'n Porter, and following the first right turn to reach the cove.
Inside the fortified settlement, a rock-cut well features a preserved staircase with 45 visible steps descending into the ground.
