Pollentia, Roman archaeological settlement in Alcúdia, Spain.

The remains of Pollentia extend across 18 hectares, featuring residential buildings, public spaces, and a forum with architectural elements from the Roman period.

Founded in 123 BC by consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus, Pollentia functioned as the capital of the Balearic Islands until its decline in the third century AD.

The House of Two Treasures and House of Bronze Head present complete Roman residential structures with typical elements including atria and specialized rooms.

Visitors can access both the archaeological site and the Monographic Museum with a single entrance ticket of 3 euros, with guided tours available.

The site contains a Roman theater constructed for 800 spectators, positioned strategically between two bays that controlled Mediterranean maritime routes.
