Son Fornés, Bronze Age archaeological site in Montuïri, Spain

The archaeological site contains multiple stone structures, including circular talaiots and residential buildings connected by intricate stone walls throughout the settlement area.

The excavated village reveals continuous habitation from 900 BC to 123 BC, when Roman forces arrived on Mallorca and transformed local settlements.

Recovered artifacts from Son Fornés, including pottery and tools, demonstrate the daily activities and customs of Talaiotic communities in prehistoric Mallorca.

The archaeological site offers guided tours with detailed explanations in multiple languages, while the adjacent museum displays numerous objects found during excavations.

Three monumental talaiots at the site contain specific architectural elements that indicate their use as both defensive structures and ceremonial gathering spaces.
