Ajuntament (Town Hall), Ibiza Old Town
Originally a monastery, a museum within the town halls tells of the history
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.
Occupying part of an old Baroque style Dominican monastery, the town hall is now next to the church of Santa Domingo which still remains within the walls. Also confusingly named San Pere Church, it was founded in 1592. Although most of the original decor has worn off, the Baroque frescoes on the ceilings are still impressive. The church is only open for services at the weekend.
The town hall is now situated in what was once the refectory of the monastery. In recent times this building has hosted numerous classical and jazz concerts.
