Cala Sant Vicenç is a small resort town in north-eastern MajorcaSpain. It consists of three small beaches, plus a few bars and restaurants catering for tourists. Located at one end of the town is the hypogeum of Cala Sant Vicenç, perhaps the most spectacular hypogeum on Mallorca.

 

The hypogeum of Cala Sant Vicenç is a set of caves dating back to the Bronze Age (1,700-1,500 BC), and perhaps the most spectacular hypogeum on Mallorca. Today eight caves are visible, though when the caves were studied by W. Hemp there were 15. Some features of the caves are modern (such as the hole at the back of cave 7). The taula-like statue at the entrance to the site is also modern
