The town museum, inside the Cueva de los Siete Palacios, a Roman stone vault raised over earlier republican houses. It gathers what was found on the headland and in the colony's cemeteries, the Laurita on the Cerro de San Cristóbal among them, with Late Bronze Age, Phoenician, Punic and Iberian material. Here is the vase of Apophis I, with its Egyptian hieroglyphs, carried to Seks from the far end of the Mediterranean.
