About
Sanisera, located on the northern coast of Menorca, was an ancient Roman city with strategic importance due to its natural harbor. Established as a Roman military camp in the 2nd century BCE, it evolved into a significant urban settlement by the 1st century BCE. The site features remnants of Roman occupation, including a fortified camp and urban structures. In the 4th century CE, a Christian basilica was constructed, indicating the spread of Christianity. The site also saw Byzantine influence and later a Muslim occupation, which included the construction of a mosque. Sanisera's archaeological significance lies in its reflection of the cultural and historical transitions from Roman to Byzantine, and Islamic periods.
