The cave is over 100.000 years old. It was formed earth faults and has suffered ice ages and tropical heat waves.

At the present time, it is almost fossilised, except for the deepest galleries, where the dripping still forms stalactites.

The cavity known as Can Marsa was discovered by smugglers, who used it for hiding their goods, hoisting them from the sea from an opening located at a height of 8/10 metres.

It is still possible to see, to-day, the red or black paint marks signposting another way out in case of flight or emergency.

Built as a church after the Catalan conquest in 1235, this cathedral can be found at Dalt Vila, at the top of the the fortified area of Ibiza. Part of the cathedral was built in Gothic style (the bell tower and some of the chapels) and the rest, in Baroque design. You can find the Diocesan Museum, currently closed for restoration work, inside the Cathedral. Among the Cathedral's most treasured possessions is a monstrance made of silver and gold dating from 1399. Mass is celebrated just once a week on Sunday.

Dalt Vila are the remains of an old fortress that used to be located in what is now Ibiza town. Dalt Vila actually means high town, and if you are town at the level of the Ibiza port looking up you will understand why. You can take in the incredible fortress walls, the castle, cathedral and a monastery. The whole area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, and it certainly is an imposing feat of architecture.
When you scale Dalt Vila, and look down the view is equally breathtaking. You find yourself looking down on Eivissa Town, and across the bay.
