Cova d'es Cuieram
Carretera Cala Sant Vicenç
07811 Sant Juan / Ibiza
telephone: (+34) 971 310 900
for visiting times, call tourist information
The Punic shrine in the Es Cuieram cave was
discovered in 1907 by members of the Ebusitana
Archaeology Society. You can get to the cave
by following the signs on the Cala de San Vicente
road in the north of the island. You can do part
of the trip by car, but the last section has to
be done on foot. The cave has a huge domed roof
and two floor levels. On the lower level there
is a flat rock that was probably used for sacrifices.
Some of the archaeological finds discovered in
the cave are now on display in the Museo Monográfico
del Puig des Molins in Ibiza. If you have the energy
for a long walk, you can also go down through the
pinewoods to the sea from the cave.

Consortium Eivissa Patrimoni de la Humanitat
Carrer de Carles III, 4 - 6th. floor
07000 Ibiza town / Ibiza
telephone: (+34) 971 194 600
The World Heritage Committee inscribed Ibiza on
the World Heritage List in 1999. Ibiza preserves
considerable evidence of its long history. The
Phoenician ruins of Sa Caleta and the Phoenician-
Punic cemetery of Puig des Molins are exceptional
evidence of urbanization and social life in the
Phoenician colonies of the western Mediterranean.
They constitute a unique resource, in terms of
volume and importance, of material from the
Phoenician and Carthaginian tombs. The fortified
Upper Town (Alta Vila or Dalt Vila) is an
outstanding example a fortified acropolis which
preserves in an exceptional way in its walls
and in its urban fabric successive imprints of
the earliest Phoenicians settlements and the
Arab and Catalan periods through to the
Renaissance bastions. The long process of
building the defensive walls has not destroyed
the earlier phases or the street pattern, but has
incorporated them in the ultimate phase. The
intact 16th century fortifications of Ibiza bear
unique witness to the military architecture and
engineering and the aesthetics of the Renaissance.
This Italian-Spanish model was very influential,
especially in the construction and fortification
of towns in the New World. Furthermore Biodiversity
and Culture gives an excellent example of the
interaction between the marine and coastal ecosystems.
The dense prairies of oceanic Posidonia (seagrass), an
important endemic species found only in the Mediterranean
basin, contain and support a diversity of marine life.
