Naveta de Tudons, Spain

In Spain, on Menorca Island is the ancient tomb Naveta de Tudons, whose age, according to the assumptions of the scientist, forms about 3 200 years. It is built of the large stone blocks and reminds of the kielobene boat. The unique crypt was discovered by archaeologists very recently, in 1975. In the research of their interiors, the ancient ceramic buttons and bronze bracelets were found. Currently, the crypt is completely restored and opened to visitors.

The corpses found in the crypt were encircled nearby, and the crypt itself became a prominent tourist object. Naveta de Tudons is the most famous archaeological site of the Balearic Islands, and if its age is properly assessed, the oldest building in Europe.

Like many other old buildings, the crypt was built without the use of the dry brickwork method. Its length is 13.6 meters, and the width - 6.4 meters. Although the visit of the crypt in the high season is subject to fees, there are always very many tourists next to the most ancient building. The travelers who visit Menorca in the period from the beginning of October to Easter can wander through the archaeological district free of charge. Next - Megalithic Temples of Malta
