The site
The Naveta d'Es Tudons is a megalithic chamber tomb on the Balearic island of Menorca, Spain, dating to the Bronze Age. Its name refers to its shape, like an overturned ship's hull built of dry stone, and it is considered the most remarkable monument of its kind on the island. Standing on slightly rising ground near Ciutadella, it remains a landmark of Menorca's prehistoric Talayotic landscape.
