Dalt Vila on foot, bastion by bastion
The fortress that crowns the city of Eivissa is Renaissance in style: it was designed by the Italian engineer Giovanni Battista Calvi and completed in the late sixteenth century to defend the island against the Turkish fleet and its corsairs. It rings the Puig de Vila with ten hectares, a 1,800-metre perimeter and seven bastions, and forms part of the “Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture” World Heritage property inscribed by UNESCO in 1999. You enter through the Portal de ses Taules and follow the wall-walk from bastion to bastion; the Sant Joan bastion houses the Museu d'Art Contemporani d'Eivissa (MACE).
