Are you familiar with Montuïri? With an area of about 40 km² and a population of just over 3,000, it was a town of farmers and ranchers until the 1960s; today, it is primarily focused on the service sector.
But its history tells us that it was founded in 1300 by Jaume II. Its church, dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, was built 200 years later and renovated in the 18th century.
Its Cossiers dances on August 24 are famous. Equally famous is its Talayotic settlement of Son Fornés, dating back more than 3,000 years.
Son Fornés is a BIC and was excavated in 1975 (the day before yesterday, as you can see). It has the largest talayot in Mallorca, with 17 meters in diameter.
And you know: Montuïri used to be a passing village, now it is a great village.
