PECIO OF THE COLUMNS
2.8 kilometers from Cala Bona (Mallorca) and 14 meters deep are the archaeological remains of a 13th century merchant ship. It is known as the "Wreckage of the Columns", since it transported from some quarry in the Italian peninsula a shipment of white marble columns and capitals, now disappeared. You can still see the ribs, four iron "stone" cannons that fired stone projectiles the size of oranges and the ballast, made up of large river stones. On a background of sand and posidonia. Low difficulty dive due to its shallow depth. Its greatest advantage lies in its historical interest.
