Phoenicians.es is a non-profit organisation of like-minded historians dedicated to promoting knowledge and understanding of the Phoenicians in Spain, conservation and preservation of the known archaeological sites, and uncovering further evidence of the Phoenician footprint.

The vast majority of research on the subject until now has been published by Spanish and German scholars, so we aim to present a summary of this little-known, poorly understood yet vital civilization's impact on both Spain and the Western world to a wider audience.

We focus on the archaeological sites and museums in southern Spain containing Phoenician remains and relics. We welcome comments, suggestions, photographs and any insight to help build a free and comprehensive source of information about the Phoenician presence in Spain some 3,000 years ago.

We hope to encourage visitors to the Phoenician settlements, sanctuaries and necropolises dotted along the coast of southern Spain, including lesser-known regions like Axarquia (where the Phoenician sites Toscanos, Morro de Mezquitilla and Trayamar are located). We also aim to create opportunities in these regions for terrestrial and maritime archaeology students from around the world to gain experience and contribute to the study of the Phoenicians in Spain.

Apart from founding the first early democratic city in Westen Europe, the significance of the Phoenicians today is their model of peaceful trade and migration, the transmission of cultural wisdom between east and west, and the resulting benefits for future generations.

Dedicated to the late Maria Eugenia Aubet who cast light on the shadowy and overlooked story of the Phoenicians in Spain with her deep insight.
