Bone discovery in Alcúdia: Who controls the layers of our buried history?
Why Alcúdia keeps revealing archaeological remains
Alcúdia’s long history means modern digging can expose Roman, medieval, and older remains.
Published: April 23, 2026
Answer
Why is Alcúdia so rich in archaeological remains?
Alcúdia has been used and rebuilt across many centuries, so different historical layers lie close together beneath the modern town. Pre-Talayotic, Talayotic, Roman, and medieval traces can all appear in the same area. That is why even ordinary construction work can unexpectedly uncover important remains.
