After abandoning their primitive settlement at sa Caleta, at the end of the VII century or the beginning of the VI century BC, the Phoenicians founded Ibosim, the origin of the present-day city of Ibiza. The place chosen by the first settlers to found their new colony was the Vila hill, a place that dominates the bay, that was surrounded by walls to protect them from the Greeks and the Romans. Ibosim was the first city of the Balearic archipelago, becoming one of the most important in the Mediterranean thanks to the maritime commerce promoted by the Carthaginian empire. The enclosure, Puig des Molins, considered to be the best preserved necropolis of Phoenician-Punic culture, dates from the same period. D'Alt Vila @ Aparthotel Navila w/Mum Pepita, Miss you ..... : (
