La Picola is an Iberian and Roman archaeological site in the centre of Santa Pola, on the ancient coastline, and part of Portus Ilicitanus, the port of the Roman colony of Ilici. It is listed as a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) in the Archaeological Zone category.
Santa Pola Town Council’s EuYALP project, funded with €2,707,959 of Next Generation EU funding through the Ministry of Industry and Tourism’s programme for historic heritage for tourism use, covers work on the remains, improved access and accessibility, and a future interpretation centre. Crea360 provides technical assistance to the project management and monitoring; the construction work itself is carried out by other companies.
