Sanisera

The archaeological site of Sanisera is located in the natural port of Sanitja, next to the Cavalleria Cape or Cap de Cavallería [1]. The first written source that makes reference to the city of Sanisera is the mention which Pliny the Elder makes in his book " Naturalis Historia" in the 1st century AD [1]. A series of amphorae dating from the 1st to the 4th centuries AD started to be found and recovered from the seabed [1]. Excavations carried out between 2008 and 2010 have revealed an ecclesiastical complex at the west side of the port of Sanitja [1]. This complex, which possibly dates from the 6th century AD, consists of a basilica and a large multi-functional building, called Building 10 [1]. Between 2008 and 2011 a necropolis was excavated in the surroundings of the Port of Sanitja [1]. It consists of 44 tombs that form several rows with passageways between rows and tombs [1].
