The Hypogeum of Cala Sant Vicenç lies in Cala Sant Vicenç, Mallorca, and dates back to the Bronze Age (1,700–1,500 BC). Today, eight caves are visible, though when they were studied by Wilfrid James Hemp, there were fifteen.
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.
