The Pollença Museum has inaugurated the exhibition 'In Search of Bocchoris, 4000 Years of Archaeology in Pollença', which brings together the latest findings from the Bóquer site.

The Pollença Museum has opened to the public the exhibition In Search of Bocchoris, 4000 Years of Archaeology in Pollença, a showcase that explores the history of the Bocchoris site, located in the possession of Bóquer. The inauguration, held this week, saw a large turnout of visitors interested in the archaeological heritage of the region.

The archaeologist and historian Joel Bellviure delivered a lecture titled Archaeology in Bocchoris, New Secrets Discovered?, in which he reviewed the work carried out at the site and highlighted its importance as one of the most significant heritage sites in the Balearics. During his talk, Bellviure announced that a new research campaign will be launched this year in collaboration with universities from England and Germany.

According to the expert, this work could provide key data to reinterpret the ancient history of Pollença and the entire island. The exhibition features fragments of pottery and remains of jewellery found in the area, offering a direct insight into life at the settlement thousands of years ago.

The exhibition will remain open to the public for the coming months at the Pollença Museum, located in the historic centre of the town. Visitors will be able to see the recovered objects and ongoing research, which aims to unveil new secrets of this ancient site.

The Pollença Town Council has emphasised the value of this initiative for the dissemination of local heritage and has encouraged residents and tourists to visit the exhibition. Collaboration with international centres enhances the scientific profile of the project and places Pollença on the map of Mediterranean archaeology.

For the local residents, the exhibition represents a unique opportunity to connect with their most distant past and to understand how current research is rewriting the history of the area. The Pollença Museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday in the morning and afternoon, and on Sundays only in the morning.
