Castellum Romanum de Can Blei

The square-shaped fortress displays five rectangular towers extending from its main structure, creating a distinct architectural pattern along the Mediterranean coast.

Built between the third and fourth centuries CE, this Roman fortification represents one of the few remaining military structures from that period in the Balearic Islands.

The archaeological excavations initiated in the 1980s have uncovered numerous artifacts, including ceramics and agricultural tools from the Roman occupation period.

Located at kilometer 10 on the road connecting La Savina to La Mola, visitors can access the site while exploring the southern coast of Formentera.

The absence of signs of human occupation suggests this fortress remained incomplete, making it an exceptional case study for Roman construction techniques.
