🎧  Listen to Introduction

Ibiza is an excellent example of the interaction between marine and coastal ecosystems. The dense marine Posidonia grassland is a keystone species endemic to the Mediterranean basin and it contains and supports a wide variety of marine life. Ibiza preserves a wealth of evidence of its long history. The archaeological sites of Sa Caleta (the settlement) and Puig des Molins (the cemetery) testify to the important role the island played in the Mediterranean economy in prehistory, especially during the Phoenician-Carthaginian period. The fortified Upper Town (Alta Vila) is an outstanding example of Renaissance military architecture; it had a profound influence on the development of fortifications in Spanish settlements in the New World.
