Ancient artefacts donated
TORREVIEJA’S councillor for Culture, José Antonio Quesada, announced a remarkable archaeological donation on Friday, March 3. Six amphora style jugs have been donated to the city’s Museo del Mar y de la Sal after their recent discovery.
The ancient artefacts were found in separate familyowned warehouses and were immediately reported to authorities, following the guidelines of the Valencian Cultural Heritage Law.
The donated pieces consist of one Betic amphora dating back to 50125 AD, one Italic amphora from 12525 BC, one Punic amphora from back to 500250 BC as well and three storage amphoras that have been broadly dated to the 16th to 19th centuries.
Most of the ceramic artefacts were used to transport oil, wine and fish products from the Betic area to Rome.
Torrevieja has a rich history of archaeological finds, as fish ermen often stumble upon amphoras and ceramic objects in their nets. The underwater archaeological map of the area reveals that these finds come from various locations in the area.
The Museo del Mar y de la Sal is delighted to add these newly discovered artefacts to their collection, providing visitors with a fascinating glimpse into the past.

The parking spaces have been marked with paint, the lighting has been reinforced and information panels have been installed to facilitate access and exit to the car park, which will be located on Calle Jose Sanchez Saez.
The aim is to facilitate parking for people who want to access the historic and commercial centre of the city during the day and at night for residents of the La Zapatillera and Altabix neighbourhoods.
