S’Argamassa Roman Fish Farm, Ancient Roman fish farm and aqueduct ruins in Santa Eulària des Riu, Spain.

The archaeological site contains stone tanks, water channels, and remnants of a limestone aqueduct system built along the Mediterranean coastline.

Romans established this fish farming complex in 146 BC after conquering Ibiza, marking the beginning of advanced aquaculture practices on the island.

The facility produced garum, a fermented fish sauce stored in amphoras, which became an essential condiment throughout the Roman Empire.

The site stands 4.5 kilometers east of Santa Eulària des Riu town center, with visible remains of the processing plant near the shore.

The facility combined fresh water from inland streams with seawater through an engineered system to maintain specific conditions for fish cultivation.
