TALATÍ DE DALT
(COLUMNED ROOM)

(Houses)


Columned Room of Talatí de Dalt

LOCATION:

Situation

Under the precinct of the "taula", at its oriental end.

The site (a "village")is near the "Camí de Cotaines", narrow asphalted road that from the highway Alaior-Cala en Porter connects with the highway Maó-Ciutadella near the crossing of this with the one that leads to the Airport of Minorca.

And the quickest form of arriving to it is to take the aforementioned highway Maó-Ciutadella, in direction to this last town, and, later on, to turn to the left by the first asphalted road that we find after the crossing with the highway that leads to the airport.


MUNICIPAL DISTRICT:

Maó.


DESCRIPTION:

It is a semi-subterranean building to which you accede at present by a hole located to the northeast of the "taula".

The interior walls, lightly inclined, are of stones in dry, with embedded pilasters, monolithic and polilithic. A central column, of circular section and "Mediterranean" type (wider as it goes ascending), with a capital, sustains the flagstones of the roof, placed radially. At the bottom, we see a pilaster of rectangular section, also with capital.
