Ontdek Ibiza

Dalt Vila is the walled upper town of Ibiza, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture since 1999. Its Renaissance walls, built in the 16th century under Charles V, form an irregular heptagon with a bastion at each corner. The main gate, the Portal de ses Taules, keeps its drawbridge, and steep lanes climb to the cathedral and the castle.

Ibiza Cathedral, dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows, stands at the top of Dalt Vila, the walled upper town. The parish of Santa Maria was founded after the Catalan conquest of 1235; the Gothic apse and bell tower date from the 14th century, and the nave was rebuilt between 1715 and 1728. Inside are Gothic panel paintings and a silver-gilt monstrance of 1399.
