Brush with History
Ibiza is a Phoenician-Punic settlement during ancient times and contains within its Renaissance walls an interesting legacy from different cultures. This can be found in the monumental area of Dalt Vila, in the necropolis of Es Puig des Molins and in the archaeological site of Sa Caleta.

Along the course of history also, one of the most interesting routes you can take on Ibiza is the one that leads to the Catedral , in the heart of the walled city. It was recently declared a UNESCO Heritage Site.

The Portal de ses Taules is located right across from the Mercado Viejo (Old Market), in the Marina quarter found right in the Port of Ibiza. Into the walled area, the entrance looks like a Medieval castle doorway, flanked by two decapitated Roman centurion statues. Inside you'll see the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Contemporary Art Museum), which houses a selection of astounding art made on the island over the last 30 years.
