The walls of Eivissa's Dalt Vila (Ibiza Old Town) offer stunning views over the port. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a medieval port of steep, labyrinthine streets enclosed by towering fortress walls. It became a retreat for free-thinkers escaping Franco's autocratic rule in the 1960s and retains a special, alternative atmosphere
A stroll through Dalt Vila's streets takes in the mighty stone walls and fortifications, among the best preserved in Europe, the soaring towers of Ibiza's gothic cathedral and the town hall, occupying a 16th-century Dominican convent.
Key attractions clustering in the Old Town include the Archaeological Museum of Eivissa and Formentera, tracing the history of the Pitiusas Islands from prehistoric times to the Christian conquest, and the Contemporary Art Museum.
