Puig de Missa Church
Fortified hilltop church overlooking the east coast and town of Santa Eulalia
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.
