    Worth a short visit as entry only 3.50 euros. The remains of the baths are basically a couple of rooms but quite atmospheric and there is good signage and a 5 min explanatory video in English. We actually enjoyed the courtyard garden complete with seating as much as the baths. There are also toilets on site.

    There are three sets of ruins on this large site so be prepared for some (easy) walking. Plenty of explanatory signage in English. Reasonable value at 4 euro pp, Inc entry to the museum which is behind the church by they city walls. Reasonably interesting but you're not going to be blown away if you've been to some of Roman sites in countries such as Greece and Turkey.

    I spotted this on the map and it gave a focus to a walk along the seafront. When we got there I was quite impressed at how much remained after thousands of years. There are plenty information boards to explain the history.

    Nice to spend time walking from the beach to the top view points. We probably spent an hour and half walking through the park to the 3 view points. The views were good. It could have had better signage around and not well kept but all in all we was glad to get out of the town and have a wander

    It was quite a walk, uphill, to the tower but the views once you got there were superb. Should you decide to tackle this walk, make sure to carry water. The tower isn't open so you're simply going there to experience the views down into Puerto Soller and along the cliff facing shoreline.

    A must see if you like history and for just 3 euros each!

    The ruins date from 1000 BC and are surprisingly well preserved given their location. You can imagine what it must have been like when they were still inhabited!

    A word of warning, there is very little shade and they only accept cash.

    One of the great treasures of the island! It is well worth stopping to see S'hospitalet Vell. The wooden structure allows you to get a perspective view of the site, and the different occupations are very well explained. A few kilometers away, in the prehistory room of the Museum of Manacor you can see the materials that archaeologists have found there. I also encourage you to visit the paleo-Christian complex of Son Peretó, another of the great sites in the region.

    This is basically an entrance to the old city, just a port. And this is where I met up with the bus that took me back to my cruise ship. So a practical meeting spot, but not a photogenic tourist spot.

    Down a narrow lane just out of Arta and not well signed. Small car park but few people there. Only 2 euros and a quiet shaded walk on rough paths around very old ruins. Worth going if you are into archaeology or getting away from busy features.

    A rock constellation from brown century. Nothing exciting. If you don't have other places to see than you can walk there ;)

    Situated in the middle of S'illot surrounded by hotels and restaurants is not where you would expect to find this 3000 year old ruin, but a lovely walk through this brings to mind just how long this island has been inhabited. There is a well defined and secure path going through the site with sturdy walkways to give you a good view over areas of the ruins. There are also plenty of information on boards giving a good background unto what you can see

    Lovely quiet site with great views. Quite well signed from the road, with a short walk on a path not accessible to people who can't walk easily (including a stile). A few interpretation boards.

    It was neat to find off the road . Hidden: had to research the history on it. I would just go the way we did. Unless you really want to hike.

    Driving across country form Magaluf towards Santa Ponca I saw a notice board at a junction and decided to take a closer look. Turns out these are Bronze Age ruins which were excavated in the 60s and during the dig they discovered remains of two fires with bones, pottery and bronze tools. At one time this would have been a dwelling and if you consider the timeline of around 1650BC then you’ll get some idea of how long ago we’re talking about! This is not something worth a detour but if passing then you might like to check it out.
