Portus Ilicitanus, Roman archaeological site in Santa Pola, Spain.
The excavated sections of Portus Ilicitanus reveal ancient warehouses, thermal baths, and commercial structures spread across multiple levels of construction.
This maritime settlement functioned as the primary port for the Roman colony of Ilici from the 1st century BCE through the 5th century CE.
Archaeological research at Portus Ilicitanus has discovered extensive collections of imported glass vessels, indicating strong trade connections with the Eastern Mediterranean.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours and includes informational panels explaining the function of different architectural elements throughout the complex.
Chemical analysis of glass artifacts found at the site demonstrates that Egyptian craftsmen supplied most of the glassware used by local inhabitants.
