Torre d’en Galmes

While visiting Torre d’en Galmes you must see the three Talayots which provide awesome views of the surrounding countryside and wonderful houses that are made of large stone in a circular shape. Another must see is the sophisticated water collection system that this town uses. The town collects water running down from the hill on the south side of town which involves channels of underground cisterns connected together to store the water. Soil is cleaned out of the water by a filter system made of concavities filled with stones. You can also see the military history of the Island in a large 15 room exhibit which occupies some of the old engineering barracks of Es Castell. While visiting Torre d’en Galmes please do not miss some of the old castles that are still standing. Here is a list of other things to do and see in or around Torre d’en Galmes: Hernandez Sanz Museum Talayot De Dalt Torralba S'Hostal quarries in Ciutadella Torre De Fornells With so much to do and see at Torre D’en Galmes it is highly recommended that you stay close to this venue so you can visit as often as you like and to give you enough time to witness all these fantastic features.
