Hypogeum of Cala Sant Vicenç
The hypogeum of Cala Sant Vicenç is a set of caves dating back to the Bronze Age (1,700—1,500 BC), and perhaps the most spectacular hypogeum on Mallorca. Today, eight caves are visible, though when they were studied by Wilfrid James Hemp, there were 15. 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]
