Talaiot
The talaiots are Bronze Age megaliths on the islands of Minorca and Majorca. They date from the late second millennium and early first millennium BC. In all there are at least 274 of them. Their function is not clearly understood, but some certainly had a defensive role. These monuments pre-date the taulas, which are usually found nearby.
Similar but not necessarily related are the "nuraghi" of Sardinia, the "torre" of Corsica, and the "sesi" of Pantelleria.
