    Dalt Vila

    Church, Museum, Walking Area, Castle

    A hill towers above Ibiza’s Old Town, and a massive castle rests atop that hill. This High Town of Ibiza was built to defend against pirates, and it took 31 years to complete. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the place is now an outdoor archaeological museum. With wide cobblestone roads and startling views off the ramparts, Dalt Vila is indeed a sight worth beholding. Inside the grounds you...Read more
  2. Iglesia Del Puig De Missa

    Church, Architecture

    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’...Read more
  3. Catedral De Santa Maria

    Church, Religious Site

    The first building to see a Christian service at this location may have been a Moorish mosque, but after Eivissa was taken on August 8, 1235, a church was constructed on the location. Enlarged over the years, this church atop Dalt Vila’s hill and inside it’s fortifications became the 16th century Catalan Gothic and Baroque church you see today. Now functioning as the principal chur...Read more
  4. Esglesia Nuestra Sra. Del Carmen

    Church, Religious Site

    This mission style church of whitewashed walls has a lovely location on a cliff overlooking the Formentera cove. Though it was first built in the 19th century it wasn’t made a full parish church until 1940.  The Carmelite priest Francesc Palau is credited with setting up the first oratory here. The church is dedicated to the virgin Carmen and is one of the newest on the island. Note...Read more

    Iglesia De Sant Rafel

    Church, Religious Site

    You’ll stumble across this one on your tour of Dalt Vila – and like everyone else, you’ll be utterly enchanted. Though the architecture of the church is quite plain – from outside it’s just a square and blocky looking building with a pyramidal bell tower. Inside, it has a simple nave with shallow chapels. On the altar, unlike most Catholic churches, there’s ...Read more
  6. Santa Agnes De Corona

    Santa Agnes De Corona

    Church, Village

    Though most people come to visit here for the church, the village is quite a charming place too. It’s so small that it’s more hamlet than village, with a market, bars, restaurants, cafes and some houses. In a sense, this place is most representative of what life in Ibiza is really like now. It’s as unlike the tourist areas as could be. Citrus trees grow wild, the earth is a ri...Read more

    Church, Religious Site

    Visitors seeking this tiny chapel on the top of the Puig d'en Ribes mountain often complain about how terribly inaccessible it is. But no one argues that its not worth it. This is the greatest vantage point of the city that you could ask for. And beyond the city lies the sparkling bay. Go around to the other side and you can see the great expanse of the island below. It’s reached through ...Read more
  8. Asentamiento Fenicio De Sa Caleta

    Historical Site, Archaeological Site , Neighborhoods

    If you’re a regular tourist, you’ll still enjoy this place so long you don’t get your expectations too high. If you have even the slightest interest in archaeology or history, go crazy. On the very tip of this peninsula you’ll find the last remnants of what used to be an ancient Phoenician settlement. It is perhaps the oldest one on the island, built around 800 BC. It ha...Read more

    Sa Capelleta

    Church, Religious Site, Historical Site

    San Ciriaco is the patron saint of Ibiza. This chapel, built for him in 1754, can be found on a narrow and steep street of the same name. The chapel is associated to the festivities of August 8, traditionally held as the day that Spain invaded Ibiza’s 13th century Moorish cities. It’s thought that the passage under the altar of this chapel is where in 1235 the Christian soldiers inv...Read more
  10. Santa Gertrudis

    Santa Gertrudis

    Bar, Art Gallery, Village, Walking Area

    Smack dab in the middle of Ibiza island is everyone’s dream bohemian village. Indeed, many Europeans have purchased houses here for that very reason. The municipality here has very cleverly assimilated these mainlanders by giving the whole village a makeover as and when needed. The white washed buildings, pedestrian friendly streets and square, a plethora of art galleries, boutiques and ...Read more
