visit Ibiza's MUSEUMS
 The Romans (very practical Romans) commissioned a marble statue of the governing leader, and then (very economically) just changed the heads on the statue when a new Governor took over.(above) (below) Church of Santa Domingo  (below) View from the bulwarks of Santa Lucia  |
The a few things as enlightening about the history of Ibiza as a stroll
through D'Alt Vila. (*tip) It is a lot easier to go in the back way.... and walk down than to go through the main 'Portal', shown at the left......and walk up! But the views from the grand old fortress walls are awesome panoramas. As well from the patio of the cathedral (which was the former market place). The current walls are rennaisance. built to withstand direct hits from canonballs, and the whole walk down is marked with noteworthy pedestals in various languages, with enlightening anectdotes about how Ibiza (Eivissa)was during the succesive occupation by Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs and finally, by the Catalans. (King Jaime I 'The Conqueror'-13th Century). The main (drawbridge gate in the photo to the left) was built in 1585, with an inscription remembering Philipe II.  |
