Why Dalt Vila matters
Dalt Vila is the fortified old town of Ibiza, climbing a hill above the harbour behind sixteenth-century walls. White lanes lead to a small cathedral at the top, from where you see the harbour and the sea. At night, the walls are lit. This is the historical heart of an island better known for parties.
Talking points
- The walls date from the sixteenth century.
- The cathedral sits at the top of the hill.
- It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
