Outside the museum are the relics of the burial caves, some of which you can get into, for a deeper look, discovering a real fascinating world…
It is an underground trip going down the holes or tunnels, to explore some of the tombs. This is probably the most interesting part, especially for kids, (hard hats are provided and quite useful, due to the low hard ceilings). You enter the tombs via a wooden staircase and lighting is quite low, adding to the atmosphere, but becoming even a bit challenging. In the Museum you can learn a lot about burial rituals from Phoenician and Roman times on Ibiza and there are lots of interesting recuperated fragments from the burial site. Visitors will find informative multi-language video’s, that you can find in each room to explain the era and their burial beliefs. These are quite useful, as the labelling is in Spanish and Catalan. There is also a room devoted to the Roman funeral ceremonies in Ibiza, from the early imperial period until the end of late-antiquity, and another one showing the Sainz de la Cuesta collection, formed by a bunch that Rafael Sainz de la Cuesta acquired in 1945 from the heirs of Joan Roman Calbet, director and patron of the Ebusitan Archeological Society.
