The Archaeological Park of Puig de sa Morisca (Santa Ponça) covers 45 hectares of nature, history, and memory. It is the largest peri-urban park in the municipality, with more than 8 kilometres of trails winding through open landscapes and scenic viewpoints overlooking Santa Ponça, Son Ferrer, and El Toro.
A place to walk slowly and listen to the past: the Talayotic Culture, unique to the Balearic Islands, the remains from the medieval Islamic period, and the site where the first battle of the Christian conquest of Mallorca took place.
