On February 1, at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom, Talayotic Menorca will be the focus of the next conference of the Hispania Nostra contigo en casa cycle, an online initiative launched by Hispania Nostra, an association dedicated to the defense, promotion and enhancement of cultural and natural heritage. Open to everyone, this activity is free but prior registration is required.
The conference, under the title Talayotic Menorca: an insular cyclopean odyssey, will be held by the Vice President and Conseller of Cultural Affairs, Miquel Àngel Maria; the coordinator of the UNESCO World Heritage candidacy file, Cipriano Marín; and the Talayotic Menorca technician from the Consell Insular de Menorca, Joaquim Pons Machado. The focus points of their interventions will be the candidacy’s project and the issue of ensuring the conservation of the Talayotic heritage, a civilization that is still alive and present in every landscape of the island.
Hispania Nostra contigo en casa was born to accompany the members of the association and those interested in cultural and natural heritage during the pandemic. The weekly conferences are given by professionals who altruistically donate their time and knowledge.
