The Sant Augustí talayotic settlement in the Es Migjorn Gran district is one of the most monumental on the island. It preserves one of the wonders of Minorcan archaeology: one of its talayots still has its original wild olive wood beams, in a good state of conservation.The Sant Augustí settlement consists of two talayots, a settlement of up to eight talayotic houses and seven constructions with elements similar to taula enclosures, although their complete structure has not survived.

From the material found in the settlement it is known to have been inhabited until the Islamic era (tenth - twelfth century A.D.)
