Necrópolis de Cala Morell

The necropolis contains fourteen artificial caves carved into rock formations, featuring columns, windows, and various architectural elements across different levels.

The burial site was actively used from 1600 BCE through the second century CE, with the oldest tombs consisting of small hypogea with stone corridor entrances.

The burial chambers display architectural influences from Etruscan and Punic civilizations, particularly evident in the carved façade of cave number four.

Located 9 kilometers north of Ciutadella, the necropolis remains open to visitors throughout the year and can be reached by car or seasonal bus service.

The site includes 22 oval-shaped cavities known as capades de moro, carved into the cliff walls, which were likely used for child burials or ritual offerings.
