The Punic Sanctuary Of Es Cuieram, for Some Is Culleram, is located a short Distance From Sant Vicent. We will find a detour on the road that connects this town with The Cala De Sant Vicent. However, as we take the deviation to the sanctuary, we find a dirt road that will delay our march. This would be inconvenient if it weren’t for visiting hours. The Punic Shrine Of Es Cuieram opens its doors only in the mornings, from ten to one noon, except on Mondays that it is closed. To this you have to add the descent to the entrance to the cave, a slope full of stairs.

This Punic sanctuary May be the best studied historical element of Ibiza. What is certain is that it has been the most looted, sometimes unconscious. In fact, before its discovery in 1907, this cave was known As the Cave of surprises, because everyone who entered found some terracotta figurine or decorative element to take home. Its history goes back to the centuries V-II BC. During this last epoch, the goddess Tanit was the main symbol of veneration. Composed of several rooms, the two main served as separate cults in a natural way. Others, smaller, have been artificially created. of the two great halls, one ended by collapsing, fact which is considered as the end and abandonment of The Punic Sanctuary Of Es Cuieram. Numerous pieces with Punic writings have been found and distributed by many museums, but in the Archaeological Museum of Ibiza, we can contemplate abundant statuettes dedicated to the different Phoenician gods of the time.
