Necròpolis del Puig des Molins
In Eivissa, the Necròpolis del Puig des Molins spreads across the lower slope of Puig des Molins, beside the city’s ancient core. Phoenicians first used this ground for burials in the late seventh century BCE.
Punic communities expanded the cemetery as Eivissa grew, eventually covering about five hectares. Roman funerary customs later extended northwards towards Avinguda d’Espanya and Carrer d’Aragó. The Monographic Museum traces these changes through five rooms, covering Phoenician, Punic, and Roman beliefs, rituals, graves, and objects. The Sainz de la Cuesta Collection adds Punic and Roman artefacts from across the island.
The necropolis remained in use into late antiquity, linking centuries of burial practice in one landscape. UNESCO recognised its archaeological importance in 1999. Underground burial chambers called hypogea preserve the most striking connection with the people who prepared them.
