The settlement's high point occurred during the Carthaginian commercial expansion, but it was in use until the mediaeval era.
It consists of two talayots, the taula enclosure, a hypostyle hall, some caves excavated into the subsoil and other remnants of buildings in the surrounding area.
The taula and its area are the most spectacular remains of this settlement. This is a building for worship, in the form of a horseshoe with side chapels. The taula itself consists of two large blocks of stone, one vertical and the other horizontal, magnificently crafted. During various digs held in this area, a figure of a bronze bull and other objects of worship were found near a stone altar, today on display in the Museum of Minorca.
