Discover the vestiges of the paleochristian basilica of Cap des Port, whose construction dates back to the end of the century

On the Fornells-Maó road, take the path on the left, under the trees, in the direction of Ses Salines de Fornells (a signpost indicates the direction). Once you have parked your car, you will have to walk for about 15 minutes to reach the remains of the early Christian basilica of Cap des Port. Discovered in 1958 and excavated from 1975, its construction dates back to the end of the5th century, beginning of the 6th century. We will linger in its crypt and on the wall paintings.

En quittant Mahon/Mao pour vous rendre à Fornells, je vous conseille un arrêt par cap des port pour apprécier les vestiges de cette basilique paléo-chrétienne. Certes, vous devrez vous astreindre à 15 min de marche, mais ce site relativement bien préservé vous permettra de bien appréhender les constructions du Vème siècle.
