The Puig de Missa hill rises 52 meters above sea level. On its summit is a 1568 church, built on the site of an earlier 1302 chapel. Those with a keen architectural eye will spot that in addition to a strategic location, the church building also has some fortifications. This was in defence against some invaders, but mostly pirates. See the gilded Baroque altarpiece inside the church. It’s not merely a historical leftover though; the church is actively used in service and prayer. There is a small cemetery next to it.

Surrounding the church are cute little Ibizan style whitewashed cottages. But what people really come up here for is the view. The hill is one of the finest overlooks over both land and sea in Ibiza. Almost as attractive as the summit and its views is the path leading up to it that winds around the hillside. Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Ibiza itinerary 5 days.

• A small tram service climbs up the hill to the church from the town.
