The present Maó Town Hall building, popularly known as La Sala, is located in the same place as the former Universitat, the organ of local government until 1835. From the mid-14th century Maó was a municipality or Universitat, albeit dependent on the General Universitat of Menorca, based in Ciutadella. For many years the Universitat of Maó did not have its own headquarters. At an undefined moment a modest building was built to house the municipal institution in Carrer Nou, and in 1613 it moved to its current location, near the parish Church of Santa Maria. Of the original building only the structure of the cellars and part of the distribution of the ground floor remain, due to the comprehensive alterations carried out in the late 18th century, which resulted in today’s building. The increasing military and economic importance of Maó throughout the 17th century and above all in the 18th century was paralleled in politics. In 1640 the Universitat of Maó managed to free itself of the tutelage of the General Universitat of Menorca. Under British rule, the Universitat General was rendered totally inoperative. As a result, although Ciutadella continued to be the capital of Menorca in name, in practice the Universitat of Maó became the most influential municipality on the island. In 1788, during the Spanish era, the Universitat of Maó wished to have a headquarters worthy of its importance, and the military engineer Francisco Fernández de Angulo was commissioned to renovate the building.

Highlights of the top floor are the original ox eye windows and the coat of arms of Spain which finishes the axis of the lateral façade.

Megalithic gravesite from the pre-Talayotic period (2nd millennium BC) What we call megalithic gravesites are collective tombs from the pre-Talayotic period that can be dated from between 1800 and 1600 BC. One of the best-known ones is Ses Roques Llises, around 300 metres south of the large Talayotic settlement of Torre d'en Galmés. It consists of a funeral chamber made up of large slabs placed on their edges, which are also covered with horizontal slabs. This funeral chamber can be entered through one of the slabs with a hole bored into it, which is still easily visible after crossing a small corridor. The entire complex was covered with soil and stones, making a small mound. Currently you can only see some of the slabs from the funeral chamber and remains of the corridor and the retaining wall. The deceased were placed in the funeral chamber with objects (ceramics, bone and metal items), some of which were rescued in the excavation. How to get there: On the Alaior-Son Bou motorway, take the turnoff to the left indicating Torre d'en Galmés. Around 700 metres after the entrance to the car park of the settlement is the Ses Roques Llises gravesite.
