Tips from locals
Ancient burial ground dating aback to the 7th century BC. Phoenician tombs and more than 3000 burial chambers were discovered here. Now it's a UNESCO world heritage site. A trip through the museum provides you with insight into the lives and deaths of the Phoenicians.
Puig des Molins translates as hill of windmills. Located just outside the old town, and on the original 7th century BC Phoenician settlement site, the area also contains a large, ancient, and well-preserved necropolis, with an estimated 3000 tombs (although only a handful of these are open to the public). The hillside is like a rabbit warren of tombs, most of which remain un-excavated, and you can follow a set route around the hypogea (burial chambers) and even descend into one. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there is also an archeological museum on site, detailing the necropolis’s history century by century. Entry to the museum is very cheap and it makes for a fascinating visit.
