Frequently Asked Questions
How much is admission to the Roman Ruins of Pollentia?
According to visitor reports, the standard admission is usually 4 € per person; in some cases 2.50 € or reduced rates are also mentioned. Some reviews also report 7 € for 2 adults or 9 € for 1 adult and 2 teenagers. The official prices on the website are not currently published.
How long does a visit to the Roman Ruins of Pollentia take?
For a short walk, visitors mention about 15–20 minutes, while others spend 1.5 to 3 hours on site. It depends on whether you only see the main areas or also include the small museum and the information boards. The site is divided into several areas, so it is worth allowing some time for the route.
Are the museum and the ruins accessible together?
Several visitors report that the ticket also includes access to the small museum, which is located near or opposite the site. The museum is very small and displays finds from the excavations, including pottery, jewellery and other artefacts. According to one review, it should be open from Tuesday to Friday, but the official website does not currently list opening hours.
What are the opening hours of the Roman Ruins of Pollentia?
The official website does not currently publish opening hours. Visitor reports mention different times, including closing at 14:00 in winter and one case where the site was already closed at 18:00. It is best to ask by phone before visiting on +34 971 89 71 02.
Is there parking and how do you get there?
Yes, several visitors mention a large car park right next to the site, sometimes even as free. The Roman Ruins of Pollentia are in Alcúdia and can also be reached on foot from the town centre; one review says the walk from the residential area via the forum to the theatre is manageable. The coordinates on the website are 31N ETRS89 (510362,4411444).
Is the site accessible or suitable for children?
The ruins are partly accessible via level paths, but some areas have uneven or earthy sections. Visitors report only partial wheelchair accessibility; however, there are accessible paths around some sections. The visit is possible for children, but the site is large and spread out, so 1.5 hours or more is realistic.
Is there shade, toilets or other facilities on site?
The site is an open-air area with very little shade, so visitors recommend water, a hat and sun protection in summer. The reviews mention only a few or no toilets on site. The official website does not currently list facilities, so it is sensible to plan ahead and bring everything you need.
Do I need a guide or audio guide for the visit?
Some visitors use QR-code audio guides that lead to a website with information and report that they work well. On site there are also information boards in 3 languages: Spanish, English and Mallorcan/Catalan. This means you can explore the site independently without a guided tour.
