The Naveta des Tudons stands in the fields beside the Maó–Ciutadella road (Me-1, km 40), east of Ciutadella. Built of great stone blocks in the shape of an upturned boat, it is “considered the best-preserved prehistoric monument of the Balearic Islands”, in the words of the island’s tourism foundation, which runs guided visits of about 45 minutes in Spanish, English and French (menorca.es). It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage property Talayotic Menorca (2023).
