Accommodation in Cala Morell

Culture and history
The Necrópolis de Cala Morell consists of fourteen artificial caves that were used as a cemetery from the Middle Bronze Age well into the Roman period. Cave 4 of the Necrópolis de Cala Morell is considered Menorca's most monumental artificial cave. It features pilasters, a central column, and relief motifs that imitate Etruscan cornices and Punic funerary stelae.
The coastal settlement of Coll de Cala Morell comprises 13 houses that were inhabited during the Bronze Age from 1600 to 1200 BC. The houses were built with smaller stones rather than using the Cyclopean technique typical of contemporary navetas. This explicitly distinguishes the settlement's construction method from the contemporary building tradition mentioned above. The number of houses, their Bronze Age use, and the stones used are distinctive features of this coastal site.
Nature and coast
The Necrópolis de Cala Morell is located in the ravine that opens into the bay. As a result, the archaeological site is embedded in a clearly described landform, while the shore of Cala Morell, with its sand, pebbles, platforms, and clear water, forms a separate coastal area. The bay, ravine, and shore describe different spatial elements: the ravine opens into the bay, and the shore forms its own sandy, pebbly platform area.
