Dalt Vila, Renaissance fortified quarter in Eivissa, Spain

The defensive walls incorporate seven strategic bastions, connected by high stone ramparts that encircle the upper section of the ancient city.

Italian engineers Giovani Battista Calvi and Jacobo Paleazzo Fratín designed the fortifications between 1555 and 1585 during the Mediterranean conflicts.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria, positioned at the district summit, contains significant Gothic architectural elements from the fourteenth century.

Visitors enter through Portal de ses Taules, crossing a drawbridge between Roman statues to access the network of stone-paved streets.

The medieval layout creates a defensive system where residential structures function as additional fortification elements within the 70,000-square-meter complex.
