Es Culleram, Punic sanctuary cave in Sant Joan de Labritja, Spain.

The cave extends one hundred and fifty meters upward, containing multiple chambers naturally divided by limestone formations and stone-carved sections.

Archaeological excavations in 1907 revealed more than 600 complete terracotta figures and thousands of artifact fragments from the Carthaginian period.

The cave transformed from a Bronze Age dwelling into a maritime-connected sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Tanit during the third century BC.

Visitors can access the cave from April through October, Tuesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 2 PM, with no entrance fee required.

A discovered plaque bears dual Punic inscriptions, indicating the sanctuary's dedication to both Reseph-Melkart and the goddess Tanit through different periods.
