Facts and practical information

The Hypogeum of Torre del Ram is an archaeological site in Cala en Blanes, Ciutadella de Menorca. It is a Bronze Age funerary hypogeum, which was used as a collective tomb by a family or a small community. Even though it was emptied in later centuries to be reused as a cattle shelter, causing the loss of all information regarding the interred population, grave goods and chronology, its resemblance with other prehistoric tombs of Menorca dates it to between 1700 and 1400 BC.
