The old archaeology museum in the center of town has closed, but this new facility at an excavation site just outside the city walls houses all its artifacts. Most of the objects on display came from burials on Ibiza and Formentara and date back to prehistoric Iberian settlers of the island. They include substantial collections of terra-cotta figurines from Punic (i.e., Carthaginian) burials, Roman artifacts, Muslim graves, and finally 14th- to 16th-century ceramics associated with Christian burials. Outside the museum building, visitors can wander in the Punic necropolis, even entering one tomb with re-created but realistic human remains.
