Dalt Vila

Place overview

Dalt Vila is the fortified old town sitting on the hill above Ibiza Town and remains the island's single most important historic site. Its Renaissance era walls have earned the whole quarter UNESCO World Heritage status. Narrow cobbled streets wind up through the old town past galleries restaurants and boutiques housed in centuries old buildings. The cathedral and castle at the summit offer some of the best views on the entire island looking out over the harbour and the sea beyond. Evenings here draw a different crowd than daytime with restaurants and bars opening onto quiet stone terraces as the walls light up after dark. A walk around the full perimeter of the walls takes about an hour at an easy pace. For anyone considering property in or near Ibiza Town proximity to Dalt Vila remains one of the strongest and most enduring draws on the island.
