Punic Necropolis of Puig des Molins : info and guided tour

Introduction to the Punic Necropolis of Puig des Molins

The Punic Necropolis of Puig des Molins, in Ibiza, is one of the most important ancient burial complexes in the Balearic Islands. Located close to the historic center, it preserves a vast network of tombs carved into the hill, linked to the Phoenician and later Punic presence on the island. The site reflects a long history of settlement and funerary rites.

This archaeological site is best known for its hypogea, underground burial chambers accessed through vertical shafts. The layout of the site reveals a structured necropolis that was used over a long period. The forms of the graves, simple or more elaborate, bear witness to funerary practices that combine local tradition with Mediterranean influences.

Puig des Molins is also renowned for the many objects found in the tombs, now preserved in the site’s archaeological museum. Figurines, amulets, jewelry and ceramics help us better understand the beliefs and daily life of the ancient inhabitants of Eivissa. The route highlights these remains in their funerary context.

By visiting the necropolis, you discover both a distinctive archaeological landscape and a place of memory essential to the history of Ibiza. The galleries, access shafts and museum exhibition spaces form a rare ensemble, valued for its heritage significance and for the concrete insight it offers into Punic antiquity.
