The Talayotic settlement of Torrellisar is located near Alaior in Menorca, along the road to Cala en Porter. Though much altered by centuries of farming, the site retains a well-preserved taula standing 2.59 metres high within a circular enclosure measuring 8.7 metres in diameter. The enclosure features six original pilasters and a covered entrance corridor of 3x1.20 metres. Two talayots survive, one with a possible inner chamber, though largely hidden behind modern constructions. The site spans from the Early Talayotic (Late Bronze Age) to the Late Talayotic period (Iron Age).
