Sa Caleta Phoenician Settlement, Archaeological settlement site in Ibiza, Spain
The Sa Caleta settlement extends across four hectares of a rocky headland, featuring stone foundations of ancient dwellings arranged along narrow streets and courtyards.
Phoenician settlers established this coastal community in 654 BC, constructing buildings from stone and mud-brick before relocating to present-day Ibiza Town by 600 BC.
Archaeological excavations revealed metal workshops, storage areas, and living quarters that demonstrate how Phoenicians organized their maritime trading operations in the western Mediterranean.
The archaeological site maintains protective railings around the excavated structures and includes informational panels explaining the layout of the ancient settlement patterns.
Salt production near Sa Caleta marked the start of commercial activities on Ibiza, with Phoenicians collecting crystallized deposits from natural marshes during summer months.
