Research on archaeological tourism has been conducted by several previous researchers. However, until now there are still no archaeological tourism researchers who intersect archaeological tourism with psychology, spirituality, and education or archaeological tourism from the psychospiritual-edutourism perspective. Archaeological tourism from the psychospiritualedutourism perspective is associated with functions for the community. This research uses a qualitative-ethnographic method, selected informants in this study amounted to 23 people. The results showed that archaeological tourism from the psychospiritual-edutourism perspective has functions related to (1) spiritual functions, bringing closer and strengthening themselves to God; (2) educational functions, adding educational insights about archaeology; (3) recreational, a fun new place; and (4) economic, adding and increasing the income of the local community. © 2025, Angelo Pontecorboli Editore.
