From Porto Cristo S'Illot is easy to reach, which has one of the most famous villages of the island. The prehistoric town of S’Illot can be described as a Talayotic settlement encircled by walls located only a few metres from the sea. The settlement’s terrain is almost plain, the flat bay offers easy and convenient access to the sea. In former times, this area was marshland. From an architectonic point of view, the site comprises a circular talayot with an outbuilding in the northwest part as well as an enclosing wall including approximately thirty different rooms.
The access to the Talayotic settlement of S'Illot has been made accessible for the visitors.
Walkways and platforms have been constructed to contemplate the archaeological remains of this significant settlement in the east of Majorca.

Not far from there, on the way Ses Palmeres in Sa Coma you can find the Talayotic settlement Na Pol.

The history of the talayotic culture

The most important feature of this period is the talaiot, which gave the culture its name. Talaiots are truncated conical-shaped or pyramidal towers, with walls about two metres thick, consisting of upstanding, mighty and crude stone blocks on the exterior. The integration of new construction shapes buildings with square and circular ground plans and porticoed rooms spelled the end of the Talayotic building style.
