A stroll through the white villages of Ibiza, to get to know their history and architecture
Ibiza is also known as a white island thanks to the color of its churches and traditional architecture. Some are located in a natural environment with beautiful landscapes and unforgettable panoramic views. Their function was religious, but they also served to protect against the pirates. Their watchtowers, the solid walls, and the location of some of these churches are proof.
Marvel at the beauty of churches such as Sant Rafael, Santa Eulà ria overlooking the sea, Es Cubells, on the edge of the cliffs, the Sant Antoni church, one of the oldest, Sant Miquel de Balanzat, Sant Carles de Peralta, Sant Mateu d'Albarca , Sant Llorenç de Balafia or the Santa Agnès Church; all these and many more, scattered around the island. Today, these rural churches are an attraction in themselves: the white gleam of the Ibizan landscape, the contrast of whitewash and stone, their silence, calm, light...
