Illeta dels Banyets, Archaeological site on a coastal peninsula in El Campello, Spain
The excavation area spans 4,000 square meters on a narrow promontory that extends into the Mediterranean Sea at 7.8 meters above water level.
The settlement contains remains from multiple periods, including Bronze Age structures, Iberian temples from the 4th century BC, and Roman constructions from the 1st century.
Two ancient temples stand within the complex, with one dedicated to Semitic worship and another to Latin deities, representing different religious traditions.
The archaeological site opens for visits through the MARQ museum, which provides educational panels and combined tickets with other historical locations.
The Romans engineered a system of interconnected pools carved into the rock, using channels to circulate seawater for fish cultivation.
