Es Puig de Missa Church, Santa Eulalia, Ibiza

1. Puig de Missa Church

Location
Santa Eularia

This stunning church is hard to miss as it's situated at the top of a high hill overlooking the whole of Santa Eulalia.

Following continuous pirate attacks which destroyed much of the church, in the middle of the 16th century, a new fortified church was built with stronger defences which has stood the test of time as it's still there today.

It's a stunning church with whitewashed walls and a domed roof. The attached watch tower also dates back to the 16th century and is thought to be one of the oldest on the Pitiusas Islands.

At some point during the latter part of the 17th century, when pirate attacks became less of a threat, the church was extended and again used a religious building and a focal point during town festivals.

2. Ethnographic Museum, Santa Eulalia

Location
Santa Eularia

In a pretty Ibizan house is the Ethnographic Museum of Ibiza. Permanently on display are artefacts that demonstrate how life was in Ibiza in the past.

Named Can Ros, this traditional rural house has a typical "porxo" (main room), kitchen, bedrooms, oil mill, balcony, well and cistern.

Apart from this lovely traditional house, visitors can see a vast collection of tools, objects and clothes representing Ibizan rural world. This includes clothing, jewellery, farming and fishing implements, toys and musical instruments. A fascinating insight into the past of Ibiza.
