Puig des Molins, Ibiza's Phoenician-Punic necropolis
It was the city's cemetery from the moment the Phoenicians founded it, in the mid-seventh century BC, 500 metres from the Puig de Vila; the name comes from the windmills that once crowned the hill. It covers almost five hectares and is, according to the Museo Arqueológico de Ibiza y Formentera, which runs it, the largest and best-preserved Phoenician-Punic necropolis in the western Mediterranean; since 1999 it has formed part of the “Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture” World Heritage property. The monographic museum displays the finds, and part of the necropolis can be walked through, with burial chambers at different levels: the museum lends out helmets and recommends comfortable footwear. It opens Tuesday to Sunday and, according to its website, admission is currently free.
