News and events

This month we interview Joaquim Pons Machado, archaeologist, and one of those responsible for the new candidacy dossier that has recently received the endorsement of ICOMOS.

The Menorcan archaeologist is one of the architects of the reformulation of the Talayotic Menorca candidacy from 2017.

This month we interview Cristina Rihuete, archaeologist and lecturer in Prehistory at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

The activities of the Menorcan candidacy attracted some 1,500 people this weekend at the prestigious historical reenactment festival.

“Where the stones rise. The surprising Talayotic culture of Menorca, candidate for World Heritage” is the title of the new course that the UNED will teach on July 4 and 5 in Maó.
 

ICOMOS recommends the inscription of Talayotic Menorca on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The final decision will be made on the 45th World Heritage Committee in September.

This restoration and consolidation project is financed with Next Generation EU Funds, and is intended to improve visitor conditions at this Talayotic site located in Ciutadella.

Becatalaiotica will take place at different Talayotic Menorca archaeological sites on May 13, June 4, 11 and 17, and July 1.
 

The show was produced by the Talayotic Menorca Agency and the company iluminaM. This light and music event is another one of the actions carried out by the Department of Cultural Affairs.

This month we interview Damià Ramis, archaeologist and member of the Scientific Council of the Talayotic Menorca Agency.

The Menorcan candidacy will present various activities between May 19 and 21 in a unique setting to publicize Menorca's prehistoric heritage.
