S'Argamassa Roman Fish Farm

S'Argamassa Roman Fish Farm can be found 2.8 miles eastwards along the coast from the town of Santa Eulària des Riu on the Spanish island of Ibiza [1]. The Romans built this fish farm and connecting aqueduct following their occupation of the island in 146 BC [1]. The conduit is built from large limestone slabs with a channel carved into the top surface [1]. At the end of the run of the aqueduct close to the shoreline there are the remains of rectangular structures which were once the fermenting tanks for the production of the garum [1]. On completion of the process the sauce was packed into enormous earthenware storage jars called amphoras, also produced locally, and exported to all parts of the empire [1].
