Ibiza and Formentera's Archaeological Museum

The Museo Arqueológico de Ibiza y Formentera is an archaeological museum that preserves, researches and exhibits the remains belonging to the historical past of the islands of Ibiza and Formentera. The museum is housed on two campuses; the Archaeological museum of Dalt Vila and the Monographic museum of Puig Des Molins, both located within the Ibiza old town. The Ibiza and Formentera's Archaeological Museum has a museographic content which spans three thousand years of Pytiusic islands history, from the first people who settled in the islands to the Catalan conquest in 1235. The archaeological museum is situated in the fortified city of Dalt Vila and was in 1907, thanks to the donation to the state of the collection belonging to the Archaeological Society of Ibiza. This society, which had been founded in 1903, had carried out several excavations in Ibiza and Formentera. All the material recovered in these campaigns were part of the first permanent exhibition in the Archaeological Museum, which grew after the material from Ses Torres, Portmany and the sanctuaries of Illa Plana and Es Culleram were donated by a local family, in 1913. Puig des Molins' Monographic Museum is located inside the archaeological site of Puig des Molins Necropolis. It features both the history of the site as well as the most important archaeological materials recovered from the necropolis, duly explained
