Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture

The protected area combines marine ecosystems with coastal fortifications, including the Renaissance walls of Dalt Vila and Posidonia seagrass meadows.

The Phoenicians established their first settlement at Sa Caleta in the 8th century BCE, initiating a salt trade that influenced the development of Ibiza.

The Puig des Molins necropolis contains thousands of Phoenician-Punic tombs and artifacts, representing the largest cemetery of this civilization in existence.

The fortified old town of Dalt Vila features seven bastions connected by Renaissance walls, with guided tours available throughout the year.

The marine prairies of Posidonia oceanica extend across 13,000 hectares, maintaining water clarity and supporting Mediterranean marine biodiversity.
