The hypogeum of Cala Sant Vicenç is a set of caves dating back to the Bronze Age (1,700—1,500 BC), located on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Today, eight caves are visible, though when they were studied by Wilfrid James Hemp, there were fifteen. Some features of the caves are modern (such as the hole at the back of Cave 7). The taula-like statue at the entrance to the site is also modern.[1]
