Ecomuseu de Cap de Cavalleria

The Ecomuseu de Cap de Cavalleria is to be found in the extreme north of the island, in the property of Santa Teresa, a privileged environment that includes the natural port of Sanitja, the island of Es Porros, the Roman city of Sanisera, s'Almadrava, el Faro, la torre inglesa...

El Ecomuseu shows in an interactive and educational way the results and part of the archaeological remains recovered in the excavations of the Roman city Sanisera, in the Roman camp -that can also be visited- and in other places of interest situated within the field of Ecomuseu, such as the Port de Sanitja, where underwater prospections have been started to evaluate the naval commerce, nautical engineering and the relation of Menorca with the Balearics and the whole Mediterranean.

Sanisera is the only Roman city on Menorca that can be excavated completely, and is one of the best testimonies about the Roman stay on the island.

El Ecomuseu is administered by the Associació Sa Nitja, a private non-lucrative entity that has the main objectives to study, preserve and inform about the natural and cultural heritage.
