With the name of Dalt Vila we know the upper historic core of the city of Ibiza. Its dimensions are about seventy thousand square meters and they served as an important strategic defensive function.
It was build in the time of Charles V, in the sixteenth century, with a clear intention of protecting the island from attacks by the Turks. The impenetrable octagonal fortress contained and contains buildings of great interest and must-see: the church of Santa Maria, the fish market, the university, etc.
But progress brought new war weapons that made the walls less resistant. The new walls built by Philip II in military architecture of Italian engineering increased protection of the heart of the island of Ibiza.
The hill, on which you can see the whole environment, and projecting above the fort, became the island of Ibiza in a strategic defensive point. He went from being an island conquered many times, a true indestructible lighthouse of surveillance.
