Sa Capelleta Archaeological Site, Ibiza Town

3 clearly chronologically differentiated stages, one archaeological site

featured in Sights & sites

Just outside of the Necropolis del Puig des Molins, is a secondary archaeological site. Smaller but extremely interesting the Sa Capelleta interpretive centre depicts the use of one plot of land by three distinct populations of Ibiza over a period of many centuries

Visitors can descend from the walkway above and walk around the ruins themselves, stand on the Islamic street, step through the doorways of the houses, peer down into the wells and roman graves and touch the stones of the Punic shrine. Sa Capelleta is a fascinating glimpse, a slice through the history of one plot on one street of Ibiza town.

Worth knowing

The site is free to enter and the upper walkway is buggy and wheelchair friendly although you will not be able to descend to the level of the excavation. There are no toilets on site.
