Dalt Vila, Renaissance fortress in Ibiza, Spain.

The hilltop fortress of Dalt Vila contains seven bastions enclosed by 25-meter-high stone walls overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and Ibiza port.

The fortifications were built during the 16th century under King Philip II of Spain to protect against French and Ottoman invasions in the Mediterranean.

The Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria, situated at the highest point, exhibits architectural elements from various periods and houses a museum of religious artifacts.

Three marked routes guide visitors through narrow cobblestone streets, leading to museums, restaurants, and art galleries within the fortress walls.

The Portal de ses Taules entrance features a drawbridge and tunnels that connect to a Renaissance-era courtyard containing Roman statues and archaeological remains.
