Old defence post built between the 16th

Old defence tower overlooking the islets of Es Vedrà and Es Venadrell, close to Cala d'Hort, it rises to 200 metros above sea level. It is well preserved and offers incredible views. The spot has also been called Cap Jueu, Cap de la Oliva and Cap des Freu. It belongs to the parish of Es Cubells in the municipality of San Jose and is the highest tower on the island of Ibiza; when weather permits, it offers glimpses of the coasts of the Spanish mainland. At present, the area is colloquially known as the Pirate's Tower because of Blasco Ibañez' novel, Los muertos mandan, which was set there. It was designed around 1756 by Master Engineer Juan Ballester, although construction would not conclude until October 26, 1763. The tower has two storeys, the first of which is divided into two equal parts: one faces the sea, while the other is subdivided further into two different-sized areas, one of which was used to store gunpowder and the other, larger area containing stairs built into the wall that lead to the upper storey. The land where it is located is private property, although visits are permitted. Please consult the Tourist Information Office for availability. The premises can be reached by private vehicle, although the last part of the path can only be reached on foot.

This cave dates back over 100,000 years and rodent bones and fossils from extinct species, whose skeletons are kept in the Natural History Museum today, have been found there. Can Marçà cave is located between 10 and 40 metres above sea level inside a cliff in Port de Sant Miquel de Balanzat in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja in northern Ibiza. The access road affords a spectacular panoramic view of the Port de Sant Miquel, Pas de S'Illa, the Walled Island and Torre des Molar. Following down a pathway carved into the rock leads to the mouth of the cave 14 metres above sea level where the visit begins. The cave dates back over 100,000 years and was formed by telluric faults. It has passed through glaciations and tropical heat and the deepest galleries where dripping continues to form stalactites is almost fossilised nowadays. Since the cascades and water courses that ran through the cave are fossilised, the speleologists that have taken part in preparing the cave have recreated them artificially to reproduce conditions in ancient times. The cavity known as Can Marça used to be popular with smugglers, who would hoist contraband goods from the sea and pass them through a 10-metre-wide opening. The red and black painted signs that marked the way for smugglers when they needed to escape or in emergencies can still be seen today. Open all year round. Telephone: 0034 971 33 47 76

Best part was the wind rushing through the tunnel cooling you off.

In the area near the viewpoint in the square, from which you can catch glimpses of Formentera, there is a replica of a statue depicting Guillem de Montgrí, which is located in the Gerona cathedral. From here, head towards the Santa Llúcia bulwark, whose layout evokes the prow of a ship. From here you can begin your descent into the Sa Carrossa area and once again reach the Weapons Courtyard. There you leave the walled city to enter the Puerta del Mar, where this tour began.

Interesting. But that’s it. Not much to see.

Puig des Molins, the largest, best preserved necropolis from the Phoenician-Punic culture, with more than 3,000 tombs, is the site of the world's finest collection of Punic remains. The archaeological site Puig des Molins was Ibiza's cemetery from the time the town was founded by western Phoenicians in the late seventh century B.C.. The original necropolis was expanded during Punic times, specifically from the sixth century B.C. to the late first century A.D., and ended up occupying 50,000 square metres of land. The cemetery continued to be in use during Roman times. The slope of the mountain known as Puig des Molins is perforated by these small collective caves that were reached by an opening that was closed off with slabs of rock. The sarcophagi, in which up to four and 5 thousand hypogeum have been found, were located within the necropolis. The bodies were buried or cremated, depending on the period in question and trousseaus with hundreds of baked mud figures on them have been found. Some of these figures represent the deceased and others portray protective divinities and sacred animals. Amulets, glasses with offerings, jewels, skylights that served as lanterns for illumination, votive offerings and coins have been found next to them. The divine representations almost always depict Demeter and Persephone, goddesses that were worshiped throughout the entire Mediterranean in the second half of the fifth century B.C.

Sa Cova des Culleram in Sant Joan de Labritja is an ancient sacred sanctuary dedicated to the Carthaginian goddess Tanit. Ibiza preserves a sanctuary in a cave built to worship Tanit, the Phoenician goddess of love and fertility: Sa Cova des Culleram, located in the Sant Vicent de Sa Cala area in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja in northeastern Ibiza. Considered one of the island's most important archaeological sites, Sa Cova des Culleram was explored in 1907 and 600 terracotta figures (possibly votive offerings), a thousand heads from tiny figures and ceramic shards were found. Some of the most remarkable findings, which are now on display at the Museu des Puig des Molins, were bell-shaped female figures bearing different symbols, the faces of some of which were painted with a fine layer of gold. Sa Cova des Culleram was used by the Ibizans from the end of the fifth century to the second century AD. In 1929, a bronze plate was found that mentioned the names of Astrate and Tanit, Ibiza's Punic goddess par excellence. The inside of the cave is not open to the public and there is a lookout point two hundred metres above sea level that offers spectacular panoramic views of the island of Tagomago in the distance.

The Arabs, who devised an irrigation system time based on capillary irrigation that was unique in the world at the time, laid out the channels that garnered the area fame in the past for its agricultural products. Ses Feixes are the second most important wetlands in Ibiza and contain fresh and salt waters that house a wide array of fauna and flora. Ses Feixes in Ibiza is a small wetland area lying in between the city of Ibiza and Talamanca Beach. The Arabs, who devised an irrigation system time based on capillary irrigation that was unique in the world at the time, laid out the channels that garnered the area fame in the past for its agricultural products. The channels formed irrigated small rectangular plots of land denominated feixes. These channels were connected every few metres with other underground channels called fibles through which water circulated. The upper part of the fibles were made of a material (normally pine branches) that allowed water to pass through and thus, the water levels in the channels and in turn, the feixes could be regulated with the use of floodgates. The entrance to each feixa or plot, boasted a very characteristic threshold known as the portal de feixa which was the only construction of its kind in the world at the time: they are famous for their beauty and singularity: huge white stone frames with wooden doors. Ses Feixes is divided into three parts, two of which, Prat de Vila and Prat de Ses Monks, are cultivated; the third is a strip of wetlands called Es Prat that connects them.

This gothic church was begun to build in the 13th century over an Arab mosque; it is dedicated to Our Lady. It was finished by the 18th century. It houses a notable altarpiece in honour of St. Gregory, and an interesting 14th century gilded silver monstrance.
