Ibiza’s white Churches, Sanctuaries from the past

There was once an island in the Mediterranean known as the “White Island” because all the buildings on the island were white. Although Ibiza today is awash with colour, it still retains its distinctive white churches, unique in the world, as they were designed as fortresses to protect the population from pirate attacks.

Many of them still have defensive towers and look much like fortified castles. They are also the centre of the everyday lives of the village populations, a meeting place and a venue for parties and concerts. Discover for yourself the original architectural heritage of the island!
