This was a quarry where they extracted a lot of sandstone, it was used for more than 100 years. You can see that at first they extracted it manually, but later they used machines to cut the sandstone.

The quarries of Santa Ponça were used as a means of extracting tides, for more than a century. This tide was used to build the houses that we see today and are typical of Menorca. On the walls we can differentiate different extraction marks, which define the evolution in which all the material has been removed, from hand to machinery. Today it is disabled but it is very touristic.

This is an old quarry where stone was extracted for construction. Now, the place is quiet and has very beautiful views of the area. It is an interesting place to walk and see the nature that has grown there.
