La Basílica paleocristiana de Son Bou is located on the eastern end of a beach in the south of the island of Menorca. This three-nave structure is oriented from east to west and was discovered in 1951.
It is estimated to be a construction from the 5th century. Outside the basilica, there is a necropolis excavated in the rock.
The site is listed as a Bien de interés cultural de Alayor.
