Old defence post built between the 16th

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The old town walls, begun in the 16th century as a defence against attacks by the alliance of French and Turks, took forty years to build. They enclose an important historical legacy, declared by UNESCO a World heritage Site. The main entrance gateway is the Portal de Ses Taules.

After painstaking rehabilitation to recover its original state, including the furniture, the building was inaugurated as a multi-functional museum space in February 2010. Painter and architect Erwin Broner (Munich 1898- Kreuth, 1971) was a prominent figure in Ibiza's art scene. Erwin Broner first came to the island in 1934, in flight from the Nazis because of his Jewish roots. He was born into the heart of a well-off family surrounded by an encouraging ambience for artistic inspirations. Together with other artists, Broner founded the Ibiza59 group, with which he mounted exhibitions and other cultural activities until its dissolution in 1964. In his facet as an architect, he was adept at combining traditional Ibizan architecture with modern elements. Among the different constructions he erected on the island was his own home, which he built between 1959 and 1960 in what was the fishermen's quarter of Sa Penya in the city of Ibiza, as well as the expansion of another, pre-existing house, which was inhabited by his widow, Gisela Broner, until her death in 2005, when it was donated to the Ibiza Municipal Council. After painstaking rehabilitation to recover its original state, including the furniture, the building was inaugurated as a multi-functional museum space in February 2010. Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in the monument category, it is part of the Broner Foundation, which works to disseminate the artist's work and other cultural activities of interest. The building has two storeys and a garden. On the first floor is a living space with an enormous window looking out to the sea and on the ground floor is a work space. A small, yet spectacular bridge was erected over the cliff on which the house is situated so that both storeys would have independent entrances.
