Sights in Ibiza

This art gallery showcases some of the best names in contemporary art in Ibiza Town.

Just two years before his death in 1981, Ibizan painter Narciso Puget Riquer donated his paintings, plus his fathers to the local government.

These caves date back 100,000 years and contain various fossils and bone remains.

As the road winds around it, entering and leaving San Carlos, you can't help but be drawn to a quick stop to have a wander round.

This museum is located within one of the oldest houses in Dalt Vila, Casa de La Cúria, built around the old Andalusian wall and shows Ibiza town when it was a medieval Muslim town called Madina Yabisa, an important Muslim city during the Middle Ages.

This museum is filled with religious artefacts related to the area, including paintings, sculptures, ornaments, gold, silver and jewel encrusted clothing.

As part of the "new town" this lovely promenade was built in 1912 and named after the Ibizan soldier Joaquin Vara del Ray who was killed in action, whilst bravely fighting against America in 1898. As a dedication, there is a monument in the pedestrianised square opposite Vara del Ray.

This historic palace houses nowadays Ibiza's Town Hall and it is a great example of Renaissance architecture in Dalt Vila.

Historically the building dates back to the 16th century and was originally a monastery. In 1835 the building became the property of the local council and the monks were forced to move. Since then, it turned into a hospital, a school, a prison and today it still belongs to the Eivissa Council.

The whole of the Old Town of Ibiza (Dalt Vila) has become an outdoor museum with signs that lead you through the citadel's history and multitude of medieval buildings towards the castle at the centre.

When you drive into Es Cubells the only thing that you notice is the white washed stone buildings and how pristine they look in their well kept surroundings.

Situated in the west of Ibiza the small town of Santa Agnes comprises just two restaurants and a beautiful church.

The tower is at the end of a south-pointing spit of land with two of Ibiza’s best beaches running back north on both sides, fashionable Las Salinas to the west and nudist beach Es Cavallet to the East.

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.

The church of San Antonio dates back to the 14th century, however like many other churches, only some of the original building remains.

Standing at 23 metres in height this impressive monument sits nestled amongst the trees in the small residential village of Monte Cristo just 3.5km to the north of Ibiza Town.

The cave of Ses Fontanelles is situated in an area of beautiful rocky cliffs between Santa Agnes and San Antonio. Inside, there are pre-historic paintings.

When you travel across the island you will see many remnants of windmills, once glorious, and now just a few spokes sticking out from a ruined tower.
