Necròpolis de Son Real

Northern Mallorca


By the sea about 10 minutes' walk southeast of Platja de Son Bauló, this necropolis appears to have been a Talayotic cemetery with 110 tombs (in which the remains of more than 300 people were found). The tombs assume the shape of mini-talayots (ancient watchtowers) and date as far back as the 7th century BCE. Some believe this was a graveyard for commoners.
