Submerged in Cala en Blanes, Ciutadella de Menorca, lies the Torre del Ram, a prehistoric structure reminiscent of its ancient contemporaries. This architectural marvel, dating back to between 1700 and 1400 BC, exhibits the Cyclopean technique, as evidenced by its robust stone gallery. The tomb, characterized by its ascending passageway leading to a spacious, rectangular chamber, also flaunts a circular stone bench that encircles its internal circumference. These features are typical of many tombs from the region's bygone era. The chamber's walls are adorned with engravings, including depictions of three seafaring vessels and enigmatic figures. Several theories speculate that these engravings could be dated to the Bronze Age, yet the precise timeline remains veiled in enigma.
