Island
History
An
enlightening and beautiful side to the
history of Ibiza can be found in a stroll
through D'Alt Vila.
The
views from the grand old fortress walls
are awesome panoramas.
The
current walls are renaissance. Built to
withstand direct hits from cannonballs,
and the whole walk down is marked with
noteworthy pedestals in various languages,
with enlightening anecdotes about how
Ibiza (Eivissa) was during the successive
occupation by Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs
and finally, by the Catalans. (King Jaime
I 'The Conqueror'-13th Century).
This
is just a taster of what the island has
to offer, more information will be coming
soon ...
