Na Nova

Na Nova is a Spanish Iron Age Talaiotic settlement located on the island of Mallorca [1]. Although its entirety is highly altered, it has been designated a Bien de Interés Cultural [1]. Its most characteristic structure is the talaiot, a tower-shaped megalithic structure which is in good conditions [1]. The talaiot's diameter is 12 metres on the outside and 6 metres on the inside [1]. It is more than 2 metres high and it preserves five courses of huge stones in its best preserved parts [1]. The inside is full of rubblestones, but the polylithic column still stands, as does the entrance with its stone lintel [1]. The rest of the structures are partially razed and covered with more rubble, and have not been satisfactorily identified [1]. The site was densely and totally covered with bushes and trees until its first cleaning in 2016 and 2017 [1].
