Taula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the island, see Taula (Tonga). For the Romanian village, see Onceşti, Bacău.
A taula (meaning 'table' in Catalan) is a T-shaped stone monument found on the Balearic island of Minorca. Taulas can be up to 3.7 metres high and consist of a vertical pillar (a monolith or several smaller stones on top of each other) with a horizontal stone lying on it. A U-shaped wall often encloses the structure.
They were built by the Talayotic culture between 1000 BC and 300 BC.
Examples include those at Torre Trencada, Talatí de Dalt, Torrellissá Nou, Trepucó, and the site at Torralba d'en Salord.
