Furthermore, the ARQUA takes charge of the Odyssey’s treasure. The Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes frigate collection, which consists of more than 570,000 gold and silver coins from the late 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. ‘PHENICIANS, Merchants of the Sea’ - Temporary Exhibition from 19 November 2025 to 24 May 2026 The site, discovered in the 1950s on the coast of San Javier (Murcia), has proven to be of extraordinary importance for studies of Phoenician society. Currently, of the six Phoenician shipwrecks excavated and studied in depth in the Mediterranean, three have been found on the Spanish coast, specifically in the Region of Murcia: two located in the bay of Mazarrón and the third in the municipality of San Javier, to which this exhibition is dedicated. Thanks to the excavation of this wreck, it has been possible to confirm several key aspects, such as the existence of Phoenician trade routes along the regional coastline, the exploitation of the Iberian Peninsula's natural resources, the cultural influence exerted on local communities, and the consolidation of a complex exchange system that connected the entire Mediterranean. The significance of these findings has transcended national borders, placing Bajo de la Campana at the centre of international conferences, symposiums and studies for several decades.
