Sa Capelleta Interpretation Centre

Three cultures, three uses, three histories

Ibiza’s subsoil, much like a book, reveals the city’s historical heritage layer by layer. A fine example of this is this archaeological site situated between the walled enclosure of Dalt Vila and the Puig des Molins Necropolis, whose archaeological remains show how the Punic, Roman and Arab peoples used this space. You can see urban features – such as two cesspits – corresponding to an Islamic settlement, some of the 40 Roman tombs dating from the 2nd–3rd centuries AD that were found, and terracotta remains suggesting that the Punics carried out pottery-making activities at this site.

Given its location, it is an ideal stop to complement a visit to the neighbouring Punic Necropolis of Puig des Molins, which is included in Ibiza’s designation as a World Heritage Site.

A suggestion?: Given its location, it’s an ideal stop to round out a visit to the nearby Puig Des Molins Necropolis, which is included in Ibiza’s designation as a World Heritage Site.
