Discover Biniali
Biniali since the 17th century
After the village of Sencelles, Biniali, is the second village of the district with the largest number of inhabitants of around 250
The first settlers date back to prehistoric times, as up to eight archaeological sites have been discovered, among them the Cova Monja, a settlement with important talayotic remains.
However, the current name of Biniali comes from the Arabic Bânû Alî, an old Arab hamlet, located to the west of Sencelles. It was a hamlet that was dedicated to wine production until the end of the 19th century but went into decline due to a phylloxera plague that caused depopulation and rural exodus.
Its constitution as a town dates back to the end of the 17th century, when the construction of the first chapel was requested in 1671.
