Minorca -- Turism
Menorca is a splendid open-air museum, rich in diverse prehistoric monuments. Recent discoveries in sa Cova des Càrritx and sa Cova des Mussol have allowed the presence of humans to be dated back to about 2000 B.C., or 4,000 years ago, with the era of greatest population during the Bronze and Iron Ages. The monuments scattered over the island, including a very special type, confirm this: the taula (table), gigantic T's, which still arouse impassioned debate over their meaning. The megalithic tombs, the long caves, and the naviform dwellings are from the pretalayotic era, while the taules, settlement walls, and necropolises with caves dug into the rocks were created in the talayotic. The final part of this stage shows significant influence from Punic culture.
In 123 B.C. the Roman consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus landed on Menorca, taking the precaution of cladding his ships in leather armour to avoid damage by stones shot by the island's slingers. Menorca became known as Balearis Minor or Minorica, while Maghen (Maó), turned into Mago, or Municipium Flavianum Magontanum in full. The small town of Sanisera (Sanitja), mentioned by Pliny, in the northern part of the island, and Jamma (Ciutadella) were also Roman settlements. The mark left by the Romans may be seen in the pavements, mosaics, inscriptions, figurines, coins, and open-air burial niches cut out of the rock. The Christianisation of the island produced an exceptional document: the letter of Bishop Severian, written in February 417, found by Cardinal Baronius in the Vatican Library and included in the Annali Ecclesiastici as an 'outstanding monument of Christian antiquity.' The splendour of early Christianity in Menorca shines in the Palaeochristian basilicas of Son Bou, Fornàs de Torelló, Port de Fornells, and Illa del Rei (Maó)
