Thousands of carved steles where discovered here, and these are the most convincing evidence of Punic sculpture. The most ancient part of old Mozia's industrial area includes several semicircular furnaces, identical in construction to the more ancient pottery furnaces used in Phoenicia.
The sea level has increased by about half a meter since Phoenician times, so part of the archaeological remains are submerged. Access to the island is by two private boats, which not only link the same Mozia to the mainland can also visit the other islands of the Lagoon. The island belongs to the Whitaker Foundation, and is only open to the public during hours of operation. The ancient road linking the island to the mainland between Cape San Teodoro and the extreme northern tip is no longer viable because of erosion and algae.
